No. You need to remove some things from the plates first before surrender. You have to remove any plate frames and fasteners, as well as any sticker you may have attached on it. Besides, you need destroy the registration and inspection stickers you have attached into your windshield.
There's something else about refunds that I'm not sure about. Is it possible for me to get a refund if I change my name?
yes, that shouldn't be a problem, you will just need to surrender the vehicle plates at a DMV office and request a transfer receipt
There's one more thing to add to the Plate Surrender Application. You've got it. Is there anything else I need to do in addition to the removal?
