I haven't had a front plate in 3 or 4 years and have never had a problem (I keep meaning to put that thing on...). It's possible that you may be more likely to be pulled over for it than me because you have an out of state plate, or maybe no one will ever care.

This is interesting because NH does require both plates unless it’s a trailer or motorcycle

I know I really do need to put it on, I just don't have the right tool for the strange bolts my front license plate holder came with and I forget about it until something reminds me. I'm getting an inspection next week so I'll ask them to put it on (thanks for the reminder CUontheHill!) but I've never been pulled over for it!

I haven't been pulled over for anything else in this car either -- maybe OP will be fine if they don't speed or do illegal driving things to avoid getting ticketed for no front plate? They did say it's only for couple of months.

You're lucky. Day one of the month after my birthday I got pulled over at the Lee traffic circle for expired tags. The trooper was just sitting there waiting for expired tag victims.

Lol “victim”, said the person who made the conscious decision not to register in time.

I did register, just didn't have the tags on and did have them in the car. He didn't give me a ticket.

If the home state doesn't require a front plate the car is fine.

Havent had a front plate for about 5yrs, started to notice some looks in early jan. Got pulled in concord by a cop who said theyre giving me a warning “assuming im not up to anything malicious”…. Im a pale ass mid 20s white dude in a unmodified vehicle. Jus watch out theyre starting to be fussy about it lately.
