Everything
you ever
wanted to
know
about...
...but didn’t know whom to ask:
To get a replacement for a lost or stolen
license fill out and return form DL-80,
Application for Change, Correction, Replacement of
Driver’s License. The form must be notarized
and accompanied by a $10 fee. Stolen driver’s
licenses should be reported to police.
◆
◆
If your driver’s license expires before you
receive your renewal, your driving privileges
are suspended, so apply for a renewal well in
advance of the expiration date.
◆
◆
If you move, you must notify PennDOT of
your new address within 15 days. The post
office will not forward mail from PennDOT.
◆
◆
Non-driver photo identification cards are
available from your local Driver License Center
for a $10 fee.
◆
◆
Driver’s license and vehicle registration
applications take between five and 15 working
days to process, although PennDOT cashes
checks and money orders the day the
application arrives. Often the canceled check
may be returned to you before the license or
registration arrives.
◆
◆
Senior citizens living on fixed incomes
are eligible for a reduced fee for vehicle
registration. If your income does not exceed
$19,200 per year, the fee is $10.
◆
◆
To get a replacement for a vehicle title,
complete form MV 380, Application for
Duplicate Certificate of Title by Owner. The forms
must be notarized and accompanied by a
$22.50 fee. If a lien was recorded against the
vehicle, you must show that the lien has been
satisfied by completing the bottom portion of
the form, and if you desire a new title send a
$22.50 fee.
◆
◆
To get a replacement for a vehicle
registration card, complete form MV-44. The
form does not need to be notarized, and the
fee is $4.50 for the registration card and $7.50
for a registration renewal sticker. If you never
received your replacement sticker, the fee is
waived if you apply within 90 days, and the
form must be notarized.
◆
◆
You may drop insurance coverage on a
vehicle for part of the year without returning
the license plate through the new seasonal
vehicle registration. Vehicles may not be operated during the period of the insurance lapse.
◆
◆
◆ A MV-1 Pink slip, the temporary
◆
registration form, is valid for 90 days. If your
pink slip is about to expire and you still
haven’t received your registration card or
sticker, return to the dealer or person who
filed the paperwork and request an extension
of the pink slip.
◆ Special parking permits are available for
◆
the disabled. To get a disabled parking placard,
complete form MV-145-A. There is no fee for
the placard. To get a disabled parking plate,
complete form MV-145, which must be
accompanied by a $7.50 fee. A physician must
certify your condition. A disabled placard or
plate must be displayed on any vehicle parked
in a handicapped parking space.
