You will not. Just mark vehicle sold but keep insurance on it till it shows canceled in the system.
In LA, the form on the DMV website to cancel the plate requires you to put in the buyers info. This is so they can go looking for their tax revenue.
Now if you want to suspend the plate for non- operable or something like that it is not required.

I made the mistake of leaving the page on one time. The person didn't register the car and kept getting tickets and such. I knew the guy and went and stole the plate off the car one day.
Tiene out he had no drivers license and couldn't get one until he paid for damage on a hit and run.
Always turn in your plate.

Call DMV, cancel plate. Wait 3-4 business days, call DMV, make sure plate is cancelled, if so, call and cancel insurance

You were all wrong, the lady at the title place did all the work, told me she took it out the system, and I can keep it.
Several folks posted that you could cancel the plate online and keep it. The lady at the title place did the online cancellation for you. So the posters were correct.
Before the online cancellation became available, you did have to physically turn in the plate (and get a receipt if smart).

Shouldn't it be the opposite?
Yes, sorry

She did you a courtesy, not all title places would do that.
You could have easily done the same thing yourself.
Nothing wrong with that but the onus is on the seller to cancel the tag. DO NOT assume your friendly title person will do it.
This applies to LA.

You don’t turn in plates any longer in Louisiana. There is a website where you cancel the plates.

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

Not anymore in LA, the cancellation is online.
Now if you show up with an old tag and want to turn it in will they take it? I don't know, I've never tried, always did it online.

This what I remember having to do. Glad to see Louisiana DMV moved into the 21st century with their extortion racket.

Every damned time.... I sold my daughters beater buick she drove through HS and college last March. The car was worth almost nothing. I put it on FB market place for $1000 and had tons of offers.
The first guy that offered $1000 in cash and showed up an hour after posting was the winner. The dude was pretty suspect but I took his money and gave him the keys. He wanted the plates but I threw down and refused.
6 months later Ft Worth Texas is looking for us. The car was in a drug deal that went bad and had towing and parking charges. We sent the form to the state of Texas after the sale reporting it. They claimed they never got the form and was trying to lean on us for the $. I had one thing on my side that sealed it for me.
The idiot used other plates after he bought it. When I told the city attorneys we kept the license plates and stil had them, he said "THat pretty much lines up with your story".
NEVER!!! NEVER Sell a car and leave the plates with the buyer, Huge mistake.
