Discard Number License For Free

You may surrender your Washington vehicle license plates in the following manner: (a) Take them to your local vehicle licensing office; (b) Mail them to the department of licensing in Olympia, Washington.

Fortunately, you're able to dispose of old or unwanted plates by recycling them. Take them to your local recycling centre and, because they're made up of plastic and acrylic, the number plates can be recycled properly in the relevant section of the site.

Taking off your existing number plates should be relatively easy to do. If they're currently screwed in, then use a suitably sized screwdriver to loosen and remove it. If you have sticky pads on the old plates, then all you have to do is give them a pull and they should come straight off in your hands!

If you'd rather not sell your plate but no longer want it, you can give up the rights to your number plate by contacting the DVLA. To do this, you'll need to fill out the 'Give up the right to this registered number (surrender)' section of the V778 or V750 form that came with your plate.

In the state of Colorado you'll need to surrender your plates or destroy them accordingly: If you plan on disposing of your old plates make your Colorado plates unusable by bending them, removing and destroying the stickers, and then recycling them responsibly. Surrender them in person to your local CO DMV office.

Plates can be returned to a Driver and Vehicle Services Centre or regional agent but not at metropolitan Australia Post outlets. You may be able to get a refund if the vehicle licence had not yet expired.

Place your fingers under the edge of the number plate and pull firmly but evenly. This may be enough to unstick the plate. If the plates are more firmly attached, the best technique is to use some dental floss, fishing line or string to aid removal.
