What must a dealer do when issuing a thirty-day tag to a customer without insurance in Virginia?

When a dealer issues a thirty-day tag to a customer in Virginia without insurance, they are required to fulfill multiple obligations. The first responsibility is to handle the titling and registration with the Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV). This ensures that the vehicle is legally registered and that all required documentation is correctly processed.

Additionally, the dealer must collect the uninsured motor vehicle fee. Virginia law requires this fee to help offset the financial risks associated with allowing uninsured vehicles to be on the road. The fee must be collected to legally authorize the issuance of a temporary tag in the absence of insurance coverage.

Therefore, fulfilling both of these responsibilities is essential for compliance with Virginia law regarding vehicle registration and the issuance of temporary tags. This ensures that customers can operate their vehicles legally while taking necessary financial precautions related to uninsured motor vehicles.
