Just checked the registration renewal invoice that came to the house for the car we gave to BIL. In black and white the registration expired on his bday. I still want to check out the actual registration that's in his car. </p> <p>This would have all been avoided if Mr. Lime gave me his auto insurance policy number in March when I asked him for it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/expired-tag-ticket/page/2#post-1583646 Tue, 22 Apr 2014 12:47:53 +0000 swurlygurl 1583646@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Dang, that sucks. In my state tags expire based on the first letter of your last name. (Jan is A-C, Feb is D-F, etc. Those aren't the real letters and dates, but something like that). We had until April 22nd (today!!), and I waited until the last minute, so I'll just print out my receipt showing I paid, and carry that around with me until I receive my tags. That way if I get pulled over I can prove I've paid, and I'm just waiting on the tags. I've done that before and the cops are pretty nice about it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/expired-tag-ticket/page/2#post-1583617 Tue, 22 Apr 2014 12:41:24 +0000 Mrs. Oatmeal 1583617@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I always thought it expired on your birthday, but I've never had any problems with waiting. I mean...how does the cop know that your tags are expired, without pulling you over first and checking your birth date? Seems like an awful big hassle for a ticket. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/expired-tag-ticket/page/2#post-1583607 Tue, 22 Apr 2014 12:38:00 +0000 CupQuakeWalk 1583607@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Pen: in michigan they just pick a person and have the reg expire on their bday month if multiple owners on car (my husband and I went through this).</p> <p>Id fight this until it's cleared!!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/expired-tag-ticket/page/2#post-1583579 Tue, 22 Apr 2014 12:30:45 +0000 Adira 1583579@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrs. wagon: haha, because all our meetups have been in Mass?

I had no idea your birthday had to do with anything.</p> <p>Our tags say April (gotta get on that!) because we bought our car in April! Our birthdays are both in February. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/expired-tag-ticket#post-1583442 Tue, 22 Apr 2014 11:55:46 +0000 sunshineandsushi 1583442@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Pen: In FL, whoever's name is listed first on the car registration is whose birthday month is used for registration renewal. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/expired-tag-ticket#post-1582926 Tue, 22 Apr 2014 09:50:10 +0000 alohaorchid 1582926@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've never heard of that!</p> <p>I actually just looked up the rules in this province and they expire on the last day of the month. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/expired-tag-ticket#post-1582684 Tue, 22 Apr 2014 09:02:24 +0000 MrsTiz 1582684@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mediagirl: Forealz!

Ours have to be renewed "no later than 10 days after your birth month, even if your original inspection sticker has not expired." </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/expired-tag-ticket#post-1582609 Tue, 22 Apr 2014 08:45:11 +0000 Smurfette 1582609@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I always thought that it expired on your birthday, not the month. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/expired-tag-ticket#post-1582586 Tue, 22 Apr 2014 08:37:12 +0000 mediagirl 1582586@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MrsTiz: thank goodness or I'd have expired tags AND an expired license all the time. November is unusually busy for us...hahaha!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/expired-tag-ticket#post-1582584 Tue, 22 Apr 2014 08:36:06 +0000 LuLu Mom 1582584@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've never heard of the birthday month, our tags renew the month we bought are vehicles!

Both of our cars have different months on the tags, neither of which are DH or I's birthday month! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/expired-tag-ticket#post-1582563 Tue, 22 Apr 2014 08:31:10 +0000 MrsRoo 1582563@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Lemon-Lime: I'm in Fl, too and was under the impression that tags expired at midnight on your birthday. I thought it even says it on my registration or the paper that comes with the registration in the mail.... </p> <p>It still stinks, though. I've been pulled over for that within the month and let go with a warning. Glad I didn't run into a cop like your DH did :( </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/expired-tag-ticket#post-1582562 Tue, 22 Apr 2014 08:29:54 +0000 Mrs. Lemon-Lime 1582562@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MsLipGloss: that makes sense what you are saying. My car registration expires end of month. I will double check his when he gets home. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/expired-tag-ticket#post-1582551 Tue, 22 Apr 2014 08:27:13 +0000 Mrs. Lemon-Lime 1582551@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Adira: thanks. I just called the clerk of courts and they said the same thing, but could not point me to where I could read it black and white. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/expired-tag-ticket#post-1582543 Tue, 22 Apr 2014 08:25:34 +0000 Adira 1582543@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Lemon-Lime: Soo... this doesn't help your case: <a href="http://www.dmv.org/fl-florida/registration-renewal.php" rel="nofollow">http://www.dmv.org/fl-florida/registration-renewal.php</a></p> <p>It says: "If you own a standard motor vehicle, then you must renew every year by your birthday, with the renewal period beginning 30 days prior to the registration deadline." </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/expired-tag-ticket#post-1582540 Tue, 22 Apr 2014 08:25:12 +0000 snowjewelz 1582540@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>What?! I had no idea birthdays had ANYTHING to do with the tag's expiration month... That's messed up! I hope he gets it all cleared up and doesn't have to pay anything! If anything, he should get compensated for needing to spend all this time in court to fight it! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/expired-tag-ticket#post-1582532 Tue, 22 Apr 2014 08:21:59 +0000 MediaNaranja 1582532@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'd do what @Mamaof2 suggested. That is really irritating!</p> <p>Here the tags expire on the last day of the month in which you bought the car/registered it for the first time. Since I bought mine in December, they expire then. If you got it in august, they expire then. It has nothing to do with your birthday. I never realized it was different in other states! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/expired-tag-ticket#post-1582529 Tue, 22 Apr 2014 08:21:49 +0000 Adira 1582529@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@lawbee11: @Mrs. Pen: Guess it's a state thing!</p> <p>@Mrs. Pen: My guess is that the tags would expire in whoever's birthday month came first, or maybe whoever's name was on the registration first! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/expired-tag-ticket#post-1582527 Tue, 22 Apr 2014 08:21:28 +0000 MsLipGloss 1582527@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Lemon-Lime: What the statute doesn't indicate is what the "registration period" is . . . chances are, the registration renewal fee is required to be paid by his birthday (or a late fee is assessed), so the "registration period" does not automatically extend to the last day of that month (if that makes sense). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/expired-tag-ticket#post-1582523 Tue, 22 Apr 2014 08:20:55 +0000 singingbee 1582523@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Adira: our tags have nothing to do with our license renewal. My tags expire in February and I'm always renewing them on the last day of the month. My license expires on my birthday. I live in Arkansas. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/expired-tag-ticket#post-1582518 Tue, 22 Apr 2014 08:19:53 +0000 blackbird 1582518@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I was just at the DMV yesterday dealing w/ my tags. They're OK until the end of the month </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/expired-tag-ticket#post-1582516 Tue, 22 Apr 2014 08:19:04 +0000 MapleMoose 1582516@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I had this happen with the yearly registration sticker by a campus cop when I was attending college. It was the last day of the month, a Sunday no less so inspection stations were closed. I took the ticket to the campus police department and a cop there said he couldn't read the signature/ID number on the ticket, and that whoever wrote it purposely made it illegible because they knew it was a jackass thing to do. I had to fight it in court and the judge threw it out immediately so I was off the hook. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/expired-tag-ticket#post-1582514 Tue, 22 Apr 2014 08:18:49 +0000 jhd 1582514@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Our drivers licenses expire on our birthdays but tags have nothing to do with birthday month. That sounds ridiculous! If there is a particular date within the month that you have to renew tags by then it should be clearly communicated! </p>
