temp. plates crossing border

[phidelt157]

I plan to buy a new truck a week or so before I cross the border on our fly-in this summer. Does anyone know what the border patrol's policy is on temporary license/registration tags on a vehicle? Is it any different from a normal plate as long as all documents are present? Just want to cover all corners before we set out. Thanks in advance for the help.

Check with your state. In Wisconsin you can go to one of the regional DOT offices and get your regular plates right away. There is an extra charge ($5?) for this here, but it might save you some trouble if you have the same option.

I have seen temporary US tags many times. so I assume it is okay. Just be prepared to answer a bunch of questions. ( i.e. ' Are you importing this vehicle for sale?' etc.)Bring Bill of Sale.
