9 things Californians should know about driving and the DMV
"There are no plans to redesign the standard-issue California license plate, which became the norm in 2011, a Department of Motor Vehicles spokesperson said. If you have 1984 Olympic license plates, you can keep renewing them, but they haven't been available to get for decades and even replacement plates are long gone. In fact, once any style of specialized plate has been discontinued, such plates cannot be replaced but can continue to be used."
"Once a car or truck rolls off of a dealership's lot, the new owner can get cited for not having two plates. Even for Teslas that often don't sport front license plates. Under state law, drivers can prove to police officers they have insurance via a cellphone app. To retain Real ID when renewing your license, choose the Real ID option on the application even if you already have it or the privilege goes away. Some drivers have been confused by this."
DMV says there are no plans to redesign the standard California license plate. Owners of discontinued specialty plates may keep renewing them but cannot obtain replacements. Vehicles leaving dealerships must display two plates; failure can result in citations, including for vehicles lacking front plates. State law permits showing insurance via a cellphone app. Real ID renewals require choosing the Real ID option and completing the process in person; proof of residence is required only when the address changes. Blue exterior lights on civilian vehicles are forbidden and can result in tickets, citations, or arrest for impersonation. Non-working highway streetlights are often due to copper theft.
