Destroy Your Old Plates

Once you receive your new plates you will want to destroy your old plates to protect against fraudulent use. Mark each vehicle plate with a permanent marker or cut each plate into pieces. Consider separating the plates when you recycle, and putting one plate in your recycling bin each week. To avoid an inaccurate cancellation of plates, do not return your old plates to DMV.
