Spent a good deal of today tracking mine down
I found you can discard your old plate but obviously you would need to buy a new one...Duh lol. All vehicles still need to be registered within 30 days of purchase, there is a 5 day period for getting a plate put on your vehicle after a purchase (if you don't have a plate or a temp) and during those 5 days you must have a copy of the bill of sale or the title with the vehicle . Vehicles purchased from a dealer will still get a 30 day temp tag.
I knew I shouldn't have thrown those registration papers away.

That's it. Your not required to carry a title in the vehicle. Now, that being said some of the sophisticated printers can produce some easy registration papers to sell to anyone.
I'd prefer they scan the VIN and use the internet to confirm but that won't happen unless all leo get Sat phones because some of our rural areas just do not have internet service.
It'll keep people from buying our used cars and then driving them without insurance until they hit someone. I expect it'll make things a little easier for law enforcement overall.
I drove to Washington state and pulled into a military lodging area and the guard wanted to see my registration. I told him that Oklahoma doesn't require me to keep the paper in my car so I don't. He let me in but I was miffed somewhat. Now when I get new registration I just toss the paper in the glove box and it'll be there when and if I need the thing.

In 25 years of driving,
I have never, ever had an officer ask for my "registration".
I think its a Hollywood movie thing to ask for "license & registration".
For me it has always been "license & proof of insurance".
I always keep it in the car anyway, otherwise I would loose it. Then every few years I go thru & throw away the oldest papers.

We always put ours in the safe, but for some reason I always put the boat registration in the boat. I don't remember if its required for boats to have the registration onboard, but have always done it so there must have been a reason to trigger that?
The ol sales pitch "current tags until "X" date" ain't gon work no mo!
