Moving Out of State
Please
contact the DMV in the state you will be moving to for information pertaining to registering your vehicle and
transferring your driver's license.
After you have a new license plate from the state you are moving to, please return your PA license plate to:
Bureau of Motor Vehicles
Return Tag Unit
P.O. Box 68597
Harrisburg, PA 17106-8597
Once your plate has been received, it will be marked as a "dead tag." Returning your PA license plate to PennDOT, will help protect you from someone using your plate
fraudulently.
