Why the VIN, isn't the vehicle already registered in your name?
Here the notice in the mail already includes your VIN, make, model, year
and colour of the vehicle.


They want the VIN to insure you are registering the correct vehicle in
case
you have more than one. Also to verify that you still own the vehicle.
Believe it or not if you sell the vehicle the dealer or individual may
not
register under his name until he needs a new sticker, if then. It is
always
best to notify or verify that ownership has changed when you sell or
trade a
vehicle.

Wouldn't make much difference here, no matter how many vehicles you own,
the plates would
all expire the same day anyways, your birthday.

Well that sounds handy.... I think. Our plates basically expire on the same
month that the vehicle was registered in your name.

If "you" buy a new vehicle is the registration cost pro-rated to your birth
date? And, if you are married and your wife buys a vehicle in her name does
registration renew on your or her birthdate?
