In CO we get temp tags even if the car's owner has plates on the car. When the temps expire, we have to go up to the motor vehicle office and pay registration and title. At the time we receive new plates. I've heard the plates can be transferred to someone new but I never did it. If you want to swap out your plates for new ones down the road, you can do it for free at time of registration (if you're eligible...every 2 years I think) or pay a charge for them at any time if you're not eligible. I would just give them a call tomorrow and ask what your options are.

I've lived in some states where the plates stay with the car and get put into the buyers name, in others the seller keeps the plates and buyer gets new ones (or the plates from the trade-in go on the new vehicle purchased). I prefer the second because you don;t know what databases the seller's plates may have been placed in, and as a seller you have limited protection if the buyer never re-registers. (in TX the seller can file a notice of sale so the state knows the plates have changed).
