California Closed the Montana License Plate Loophole

California Closed the Montana License Plate Loophole

California has shut down a loophole that let people buy Montana license plates online and use them for fraudulent activities. The state’s Department of Motor Vehicles halted the sale of out‑of‑state plates that were previously available through a third‑party website. The move aims to curb identity theft and illegal vehicle registration, tightening enforcement of state licensing rules.
