Take the plate.

Report sale online at LA DMV website. You will need buyers name and address and DL #.

Destroy plate (or hang on wall in garage).

Only exception would be a trailer with a permanent tag.

I did this two years ago and kept the plate. Renewed license about 6 months ago. No flags or issues.

You will not.

Just mark vehicle sold but keep insurance on it till it shows canceled in the system.

Under rated comment. Never, under any circumstances, throw out a trailer tag.

I thought you had to turn the plate in to OMV?
