What to do with Wisconsin plates after moving to Oregon

Complete the replacement record

Apply for Oregon title and registration within 30 days after becoming a resident. Oregon requires its title before it will issue the registration.

Maintain coverage that satisfies Oregon financial-responsibility law and make the required compliance statement on the title and registration application.

Screen the Wisconsin registration for a narrow refund window

After the destination registration is active, check whether the next Wisconsin registration period has begun. Wisconsin does not refund the unused portion when a person moves out after the period starts. If the paid period has not begun, use MV2030 with the original registration certificate and year sticker; otherwise retain the destination registration and do not spend time on an ineligible refund request.
