Legal Tags Without the Wait
Purchasing or transferring a vehicle does not always line up perfectly with the OMV timeline. Waiting on your registration or title should not keep you off the road. Title Authority issues Louisiana temporary tags that meet all OMV requirements by verifying your ownership, insurance, and documentation so you can drive legally while your permanent plates are on the way.
Frequently Asked Questions
Who can issue a temporary tag in Louisiana?
Licensed vehicle dealers are authorized to issue temporary registration tags (T-markers) to purchasers of eligible vehicles. Private sellers cannot issue them unless through OMV or under special conditions.
How long is a Louisiana temporary tag valid?
A temporary registration plate (T-marker) expires either when the permanent plates arrive or after sixty days from the date of issuance, whichever comes first.
What documents do I need to get a temporary tag?
You need proof of ownership (title or bill of sale), valid identification, and proof of insurance. The dealer or issuing party also completes the paperwork required by the OMV.
Where must I display the temporary tag on my vehicle?
By law, temporary tags must be fastened to the rear of the vehicle or placed in the rear window in a clearly visible position. They must be legible and free of foreign materials.
Can I extend a temporary tag beyond sixty days?
Yes, but only under certain conditions. If title or registration is delayed due to defective paperwork, a second temporary tag extension may be approved by the DMV for an additional sixty days.
