Dealership did the paperwork and I paid louisiana taxes. Am I suppose to do anything to get the registration and license plate?

You mean like register the car? Yeah. That would be a good idea. You seriously didn’t ask the dealership this question?

I just talked to someone the other day who told me they were “buying a car out of state to avoid LA taxes.” Where do you people come from?

No, this part is completely optional

Take it to one of those Notary/ License plate places....

Or just write “”license applied for” on a piece of cardboard and drive around with that for a while...

You just need to go to DMV to pay register it but be prepared for some sitting and waiting

Did you buy new or used from a new car dealership?
If so, most car dealerships handle this for you. Just call your sales person & ask.

Go to the DMV or one of those offsite places.

This.

And when the police officer pulls you over and asks you why you don’t have any registration or a license plate, just tell him you “have your best people on it”

You have to wait until the paperwork transfers in...then just go get your plates.

If you paid the dealership, they should be handling the TT&L for you. It will probably take 30-60 days considering the circumstances. Call them if you are concerned.

Did the same thing back in November. Live in GA, bought at an AL dealership. They sent the GA TAVT tax $ and registration paperwork via Fedex to the Floyd County tag office within a week of purchase. I showed up to the tag office, spoke to a worker, she pulled up all the paperwork and I had my tag within 10 minutes.

I guess it depends on the dealership. The Chevy dealership I bought from in Texas handled everything from what I remember. I just had to pay a little when I went to pick up my plate.
