La. Admin. Code tit. 73, § I-1105 - Vehicle Registration and Licensing Violations
A. Improper License or Registration
1. If a vehicle domiciled in Louisiana is
operating with an improper Louisiana license or registration (full or
apportioned), the penalty will be 25 percent of the annual cost of the proper
license. The driver will be required to purchase the proper Louisiana license
from the Vehicle Registration Bureau (of the Office of Motor Vehicles,
Department of Public Safety). The cost of the Louisiana license on the vehicle
will be credited toward the cost of the proper license.
2. Vehicles domiciled in Louisiana which have
improper Louisiana license plates (full or apportioned) or an unlawful
Louisiana registration will be issued a notice of violation in accordance with
the provisions of this Title.
3.
Exception. The driver may deposit improper Louisiana license plates with the
enforcement officer instead of having to purchase the proper license and
registration immediately. A receipt will be provided which will notify the
owner or driver to appear within five days to purchase the proper license or
properly register the vehicle or combination of vehicles and to pay any penalty
which is due. The receipt will also serve as a temporary license plate for five
days. An OMV form 1757 must be presented to the Weights and Standards Office to
clear the status of such a violation ticket.
4. If a vehicle is domiciled outside
Louisiana, but exceeds its licensed gross weight, the penalty will be
$100.
B. Expired or No
License or Registration
1. If a vehicle
domiciled in Louisiana is operating with an expired Louisiana license or
registration or no Louisiana license or registration, the penalty will be 25
percent of the annual cost of the proper license. The driver will be required
to purchase the proper Louisiana license from the Vehicle Registration Bureau
(of the Office of Motor Vehicles, Department of Public Safety).
C. No Temporary 48-Hour Trip
Permit
1. If a vehicle is operating without a
temporary 48-hour trip permit when one is required, $200 fine shall be assessed
and the driver will also be required to purchase a temporary 48-hour trip
permit for $25.
