Reply to comment by Anonymous_Otters in How do I swap registration/tags from an old car onto a new car in PA? by Anonymous_Otters

Yes, as long as the new car is insured in PA, the title & tag shop will take care of everything.

Also note; you won't be switching the old plate to the new car. You'll turn the old plate in and receive a new plate.

Not true. You can transfer the old plate to the new car. There are certain ranges of plates that are being retired due to the peeling issue and Harrisburg won’t approves a transfer for those ranges. But if the old plate is not in those ranges, it can be transferred. It’s cheaper to transfer than get a brand new plate.

I wish they'd just reissue a new plate. My mother just transferred hers to a new car, it's a 25-ish year old plate, from when they just swapped away from gold on blue. We asked about getting a new plate, and the tag place said we couldn't without de-registering it, and then getting a new one (which isn't guaranteed) as it's a vanity plate.
