Skip to Content Accessibility Information. New to Maryland? License plates are issued according to the type of vehicle you are titling.

License plates acquired by any person, firm, or corporation for any vehicle owned by them may be transferred to a newly acquired vehicle, providing the following requirements are met:. If the annual registration fee is more than the previously owned vehicle, the transfer fee plus any difference in the two registration fees will apply. If you are transferring license plates and less than 12 months remain before your registration expires, the registration will be renewed for an additional year.

Registration fees vary depending on the class and weight of the vehicle being registered. If an owner of a vehicle originally titled in Maryland obtains a title for the vehicle in another state in the same name, and returns to Maryland, it may be registered by surrendering the foreign title and securing a duplicate Maryland title.

Office trailers and mobile homes in excess of 35 feet are not subject to the inspection, titling, or registration laws of Maryland. However, they may be titled.

The MVA does not collect excise tax when it issues a title. Before the vehicle can be titled, though, the state retail sales tax must be paid, a receipt obtained and submitted with the application for title and other required documents. All trailers are subject to the same motor vehicle laws as passenger vehicles.

They must be titled and if registration is desired, they must be safety inspected if they are used vehicles. Homemade trailers may be titled and registered by submitting an application for title to the MVA with two photographs of the vehicle taken from the side and the rear. If the application is approved, the vehicle is assigned a vehicle identification number and a serial plate is issued. The plate must be affixed to the vehicle and it becomes the identification number used in all future transactions.

Freight and semi-freight trailers are subject to the same motor vehicle laws as passenger vehicles. Freight and semi-freight trailers must also provide proof of motor vehicle liability insurance in the minimum amount required by law.

All other trailers are covered by the insurance of the towing vehicle. If a commercial freight trailer is converted to an office trailer and the owner wishes to title the vehicle, a state retail sales tax must be paid and the sales tax receipt must accompany the application for title.

However if you want to authorize a mixture of emergency and service vehicles, use a separate form for each type. An approved copy of the application will be returned to you as proof that your vehicle is an authorized emergency or service vehicle.

Be sure to keep it in the vehicle at all times. Glen Burnie, MD You may be trying to access this site from a secured browser on the server. Please enable scripts and reload this page. JavaScript Required JavaScript is required to use content on this page. Please enable JavaScript in your browser.
