temporary tags

Short-term vehicle markers

Temporary tags are provisional license plates, typically paper or cardboard, displayed on newly purchased vehicles until permanent metal plates arrive.

Dealerships issue them to allow legal driving during the registration process: The car still had temporary tags from the dealer.

They expire after a set period, usually 30 to 90 days depending on the state.
