"Mr Ducky" <mrducky92@braindamage.org> wrote I recently bought a new car and will soon be taking it on a trip out of state. Unfortunately, where I live (California) new cars don't include license plates. Instead you get a little scrap of paper and the plates arrive several months later in the mail. Will this be a problem for me in other, non-California, states? Am I going to get stopped for not having licence plates? Would it help if I brought/used the plates from my other car? (which will be parked at home)

You *DEFINITELY* don't want to take the plates from your
old car along - you could be arrested for car theft. No Kidding!

Your temp license is all you need. If you drive into WA state,
you will also need an insurance liability certificate.
