Keeping an old personalized license plate Quebec??
Posted by alibabalama@reddit | askcarguys | View on Reddit | 5 comments
I bought my first personalized license plate years ago for my hybrid when I lived in Quebec but now live in Ontario and you can't get personalized licenses for hybrids.. so sad. I love cars and this plate so much so I have it up on my wall with other car stuff memorabilia along with another old license plate from my grandfather's dealership.
I switched over my driver's license from Quebec to Ontario almost a year ago and notified the SAAQ then. But I recently got a letter from the SAAQ which I think is the plate renewal fee. I can't tell if it's an error or if they want me to keep paying for the license plate or return it.. I can't find the answer anywhere on the SAAQ website or the internet so I'm just wondering if anyone knows the answer before I contact them lol. I'm afraid that if I tell them I switched over they'll ask me to return the plate but I really, really wanna keep it.
TL;DR: Anyone know how it works for an old personalized Quebec license plate if you would like to keep it? Are there fees to pay or a process before I contact them?
Thank you!

I'd reread the letter you got first. Maybe it's as easy as stating that it was lost during the move?

Thanks! All it says is "Pay this amount or this will be forwarded to our legal department" 😳 So yeah maybe I'll just get in touch and tell them I moved a year ago on whichever date so they can close my file. I just don't want them to ask for the plate back!

You changed your driving license to Ontario, but did you do the same for the car? It's probably still registered there.
In any case, I'd ask on the Québec subreddit.

Ah I see.. okay I'll look I to that, I thought I did but maybe I missed a step in the many steps I did when transferring everything.. I mean everything.. over.
That aside, do you think there would be any reason I wouldn't be able to keep that plate?
