Why Are Paper Plates Invalid?

The decision to discontinue temporary paper plates in Maryland was based on several critical concerns. Fraud prevention was a significant issue, as these plates were easily susceptible to counterfeiting, allowing scammers to create fake plates. This led to legal complications and untraceable vehicles on the road. Maryland now issues 30-day temporary metal plates. These plates are more secure and less prone to fraud, ensuring higher safety and compliance.

How Do Temporary Plates Work?

Remember 

  • ​​Keep in mind that Maryland only gives temporary tags for 30 days!

  • Maryland does not allow temporary plate renewals.

  • Only some authorized Dealers within Maryland can provide you with temporary paper plates.

  • Only Tag and Title offices or car dealerships can assist you with the temporary tag process in Maryland.

  • Maryland’s temporary plates are made of metal, NOT PAPER.

  • Maryland’s 30-day or temporary plates will turn into two-year plates. You will be given new stickers for the year and month, which will indicate the date by which you must renew your stickers.

How Long Does a Temporary Plate Last in Maryland?

In Maryland, provisional plates, commonly known as temporary tags, are issued for 30 days. These temporary plates cannot be renewed. This non-renewability is mandated by law, ensuring that all vehicles proceed to complete registration within the designated timeframe. Once the 30 days have expired, if the car is not fully registered, it must be towed rather than driven.

How can I tell if a plate is fake?

Using fake plates can result in severe legal consequences, including fines, vehicle impoundment, and potential criminal charges. Identifying a fake plate can be difficult, but identifying scammers is easier. Be careful if:

  • They’re selling you a paper plate. These tend to be fake.
  • If the person says they work with a Dealer, the transaction happens in a public place.
  • If they tell you, everything can be done over the phone.
  • If it’s an individual and not an authorized agency like a Dealer or a Tag and Title in Maryland.
  • If they tell you, they can renew your temporary tag.

What Happens If You Get Caught with Fake Temporary Plates?

Using fake temporary plates is a serious offense in Maryland, leading to multiple legal and financial repercussions. 

  • Penalties and Fines: Fines can range from a few hundred to several thousand dollars, depending on the complexity of the case and the intent behind using fake plates.
  • Criminal Charges: Criminal charges carry severe penalties, including potential jail time, mainly if fake plates were used deliberately to avoid legal vehicle registration processes.
  • Vehicle Impoundment: Impoundment means the authorities will take away your vehicle, and you must pay fees to retrieve it. The cost of retrieving an impounded vehicle can add up quickly, including towing fees, daily storage fees, and any additional administrative charges.
  • Impact on Driving Record: Points may be added to your license, leading to higher insurance premiums and even license suspension if you accumulate too many points.
  • Insurance Issues: Driving without insurance is another legal violation, resulting in fines and penalties.​
