Do I need to return my Mississippi license plates after moving?

Checked Jul 31, 2026

Skip an ineligible Mississippi move-out refund

After the destination registration is active, contact the Mississippi county Tax Collector to update the address tied to the old tag. Do not count on recovering the unused registration: Mississippi says the credit cannot be used after an out-of-state move and no refund is issued. Keep the new registration and the address-update record together.
