Temp Tags

Effective January 1, 2019, California Assembly Bill AB 516 will take effect. This bill replaces the paper-based Report of Sales (ROS) with an electronic one and requires that Temporary License Plates (TLP) or Temp-Tags be printed at the point of sale when a sold vehicle either has no license plates or has out-of-state license plates. To effectively carry out this mandate, the DMV has introduced the “Temp-Tag Program”. This program will create the electronic Report of Sale (eROS), print the temporary registration, and print the “Temp-Tags” where applicable.

The following information is a guide through this new mandate. We will also introduce SambaSafety, a First Line Service Provider participating in the CA BPA program that we have partnered with, as well as provide a contact link that you can fill out to learn more.
