Can I write name on License plate tag?
Question by Kish: Can I write name on License plate tag?
I just recently got a CPO BMW, the temp plate tags just advertise “Certified Pre-owned BMW”. And the temp tag is inside the car on the back windshield. Would I be able to take off the Pre-Owned tags and put one I mad with my Name on it? I am in NJ, I don’t know if this would be considered illegal as I don’t have my real plates yet.
The Temp tags I am talking about are just plates that label the car as a “Certified Pre-Owned” there is nothing on them besides that. The Temporary License plate (paper) is inside the vehicle on the back windshield while the real plates are made and sent to me once all the registration stuff is completed by the dealership (BMW). The plates on the car located front and trunk have nothing on them but the advertising frames and the tag that states it is a BMW. Would I be able to just remove those? Since they say nothing about the car besides the fact it is a BMW pre-owned.

the temp tag cannot be changed. that would be illegal, as that is how authorities recognize your car.
if you like, and can do it, you probably could change the temp tags if all they say is cpo bmw. don’t change anything that changes the identifying characteristics of the car!

In Jersey, You can only legally write “Douchebag” on one of those advertisement tags. So go “write” ahead.
