Are license plates issued by the Registry of Motor Vehicles automatically considered the driver's property?

  1. Yes, they are considered the driver's property

  2. No, they remain property of the state

  3. They are temporary property

  4. Only after a year of ownership

The correct answer is: No, they remain property of the state

License plates issued by the Registry of Motor Vehicles are regarded as the property of the state. This means that while individuals may use the plates on their vehicles and are responsible for them, the plates themselves are not owned by the vehicle's driver. Instead, they are a form of state-issued identification indicating that the vehicle is registered and has met specific legal requirements for operating on public roads. If a vehicle is sold or if the registration is not renewed, the plates may need to be returned to the issuing authority, further emphasizing their status as state property. This distinction is crucial for understanding vehicle registration laws and the responsibilities of drivers regarding those license plates.
