Kirk Coolbeth: You think the dmv magically knows your car can no longer be driven?
Shelley Stevens: Yes of course it still applies. You MUST pay registration (Registration is just a fancy word for license plates) at least from the date of expiration until the day it was "totaled". I don't know where you live but My state does not give "refunds" so depending on the rules in your state, You may or you may not get a refund for the unused portion of the registration period. However, depending on the rules in your state, you may be able to use the plates until they again expire for a new car that you buy....Show more
Claire Billegas: Yep. You need to pay the missing time.
Lia Argall: Contact your DMV office. Explain that the car is totaled and therefore can't be driven. They should eliminate it.
Carmina Stickney: Because you was already OVER DUE - then YES, it still applies. You used the vehicle for two more months on an expired registration. HOW! EVER, since you totaled the car, you will be able to get a refund of some of the fees back since you will not be using the plate for a full year. To avoid further legal issues, take proof with you that the vehicle is totaled and will no longer be used. Have the fees adjusted accordingly and pay for the two months that you used the expired registration. Late fees will still be applied....Show more
Burt Stoecklin: Yes, it still applies. You owe the fees until you report the car as totaled. Report it as totaled and then you won't owe them from that point on. You still owe prior fees due, because you owned the car.
Donita Desjardin: Your last registration ended, as you say, two months ago. You only wrecked the car one week ago. At the very least, you owe for the almost two months you drove the car before you wrecked it.
Shaun Rapkowicz: Do you still have the car or is it at the junk yard? Take the info to the dmv and you might owe for the time before the! wreck, but not the rest of the year.
Simona Bulwinkle: ! it may be possible to register the vehicle as non-operational............you need to look at the website of the dmv where you live
Luis Mellon: Hurry up and give up ownership of it and tell them that you no longer own the vehicle.
Lolita Deschamp: Possibly so or not
Carmina Stickney: Yep. The fee was due when the car was operational. So you have to pay it.
Catheryn Small: Why ask here? ASK THE DMV. All the answers here are just guesses.
Star Gollnick: you must have odd state laws, in my state if you do not register your car, you just can't drive on the road......it could be years in between registrations, no fine, no issues, just can't be on the road
Collin Barter: Depends on actual state laws, actual use of actual vehicle- and if you were caught. Locally if you weren't driving it regularly to be ticketed, then total/junk certificate would mean no registration fees to worry about or a 'non operational' certificate/form would mean no ! 'late fees' after time. sort of common for vehicles after winter crashes, deer smacks to be out of service for awhile. drunk drivers and car jackers mean a lot of totaled cars with license plates off the road. registration of license plates/fees from totaled car only applies when the license plates are transferred to another car- and a crash report may give a slight waiver. SO, what state? State of Confusion? State of Delusion? Or State of Texas? Illinois?...Show more
Penelope Armond: Yes. This still applies as long as you still own the car. Even if you sell it now, you will have to pay a fine because you still owned it after the fee was due. In some states, you can put it on "non-operational" status to save some money (it's a lower renewal fee). However, to have paid nothing, you would have needed to cancel the registration back when the fees were due; because you continued to drive it after that, you must pay something.
