SF 257: Relating to the display of a validation sticker on a vehicle registration plate

What it does

Under current law, the department of transportation is authorized to issue validation stickers in lieu of new registration plates each registration year. The validation sticker indicates a vehicle is properly registered for the registration year described on the sticker when it is displayed on the vehicle’s registration plate. A person is authorized to apply to renew the registration of a vehicle one month prior to the expiration of the current registration year, and must apply for renewal no later than the last day of the month following the month of registration to avoid a penalty.
