What do I do with my license plates, after I turn-in my vehicle?

Please contact your local MINI Dealer or contact your Department of Motor Vehicles for your state's official license plate policy. Your Department of Motor Vehicles requires that you or your MINI Dealer return the plates to the Department of Motor Vehicles or local state agency and notify them to cancel the registration once the vehicle is returned. If you live in one of the following states, your Department of Motor Vehicles requires that you or your MINI Dealer either return the plates to them, or notify them to cancel the registration once the vehicle is returned: CT*, FL, ID, IA, KS, MA*, MI, MS, NC, NJ, NY, OH, PA, RI*, SC, UT, VA, VE, WY * To reduce your liability for future personal property/vehicle excise tax assessments in CT, MA, and RI, a copy of the registration cancellation receipt or transfer must be fowarded to MINI Financial Services at: MINI Financial Services Attn: Tax Dept P.O. Box 3608 Dublin, OH 43016-0306 If you do not cancel or transfer the license plates as required by your state at the end of your lease, you remain liable after lease termination for all of the tickets, official fees, and taxes billed on that vehicle. This is a critical step in your vehicle return process.
