Your best bet is to take the tag off the car completely. First of all make certain you place the car on your insurance. Go online to DMV.org and print yourself off a Bill of sale. You will obviously have to forge the paperwork saying you bought the car within the last 30 days. This is some insurance against getting a ticket for no tag, if you're pulled over. Take the car and have the emissions done, its all electronic now so once taken its then accessable to the Tag office via computer. In about 1 business day go to the tag office and pay the ad valorem, and tag fee's etc and recieve your updated tag and or stickers. place them on the car and your in like sin.
