    did some nice „illegal“ run with the license plate, which I learned hasn‘t been registered and is out of the DMV listing and because that plate was issued after 1970 it will NEVER be allowed on another car registered in California.

    Haul, your plate format was used from 1969 through 1980.
    These plates can be re-issued in accordance with the California year-of-manufacture program.

    Yes. If you had two plates. It could be brought to dmv, in person.
    They have a program, that allows for blue/yellow plates for the right years.
    And the blue plates must be 3 numbers then 3 letters. (Which yours are)

    I have done it 3 times.
    Twice approved, once rejected.

    Cost is about $40
    And about $40 a year.

    Your car looks like a 66 or older.
    So that plate would be black and yellow.
    With 3 letter then 3 numbers.
    DMV allows that too.

    So do I get it right:
    my info was wrong and I could reregister this license plate?
    but only for the right years...so if my car would be a 69, than yes, but with a 65 no?

    but I could not change the plate from blue/yellow to black/yellow?


    very difficult to understand your californian registration laws

    No one understands the California laws.

    Many old plates can be reused. If the right colors and proper numbers.

    A 1965 cannot have blue plates. Only black.
    And you must have two plates.

    The plates can be restored(repainted)

    And there are people that can make a fake plate.
    But the DMV doesn't allow a fake plate. So you would have to trick them.

    You cannot paint a black plate blue.
    And you can't paint a blue plate black.

    The numbers and letters would be wrong.

    Current long term ownership: 63 Cab, 71 911, 74 914

    A 65 cannot have blue plates issued to it under the current program.
    But a 65 can have blue plates if they were issued in the 70s, and the car has been continually re-registered with them.

    FWIW it's worth, I was able to register a 356 Speedster with only one California year of manufacture plate. I realize the law states you must have both plates. I also have no idea how it was done. I took the plate to an independent licensing bureau where the women who run it have years of experience dealing with the DMV. They told me there were no guarantees, but they would see if they could push it through. Much to my surprise they were able to get my Speedster registered with one plate. If anyone has just one plate they would like to register their car with, try and find an experienced, independent licensing bureau. On another note, for some time the state of California has been selling "new" old black license plates. They couldn't resist the opportunity to pull in a bunch of extra revenue. Just because your car has black plates doesn't mean they are original. If you look closely you can usually tell the new plates. They are too new and shiny.
