Wash. Admin. Code § 308-96A-076 - Law enforcement memorial special vehicle license plate series
(1)
When
ownership of a vehicle issued a law enforcement memorial license plate(s)
changes, what happens to the plate(s)? The special license plate owner
may relinquish the plate(s) to the new vehicle owner or remove the plate(s)
from the vehicle for transfer to a replacement vehicle. License plate transfer
fees apply.
(2)
Will any new
fees be charged when the law enforcement memorial license plate(s) are
transferred? If the registration expiration date for the new vehicle is
later than registration expiration date of the previous vehicle, an additional
fee for the law enforcement memorial license plate will be charged at the rate
of one-twelfth of the annual law enforcement memorial license plate(s) fee for
each additional month and partial month beyond the registration expiration date
of the previous vehicle. If the new registration expiration date is sooner than
the previous registration expiration date, a refund will not be made for the
remaining registration period.
(3)
May law enforcement memorial license number plates be replaced with the
same number if they become lost, defaced, or destroyed? Yes. Upon the
loss, defacement, or destruction of one or both plate(s), the owner must make
application for new law enforcement memorial or other license plate(s) and pay
the fees described in
RCW
46.17.200. See subsection (4) of this
section.
(4)
When replacing
law enforcement memorial license plate(s), is same license plate number and
letter combination issued? Yes. If the vehicle owner requests and pays
the fees in
RCW
46.16A.200, the law enforcement memorial
license plate(s) will be replaced with the same number and letter combination
as shown on the vehicle computer record.
(5)
Will my license plates that have
been reported stolen be replaced with new license plates with the same number
and letter combination? If the license plate(s) have been reported as
stolen or if the department record indicates the plate has been stolen, the
same number and letter combination will not be issued. This is a law
enforcement issue for the protection of the public.
