Reply to comment by HeadCatMomCat in Paid off car loan, got the title from the dealership. Do I need to do anything else? by EndlessErrands0002

Unless it was a lease, you shouldn’t have to change plates. On a loan, you own the car subject to a lien, so the plates are in your name. On a lease, the dealer owns the car, so the plates are in the dealers name. If you buy out the lease, then you need new plates. If you pay off a loan, you do not.

Thank you for this clarification. I was leasing so needed new plates.
