Which statement is true regarding temporary license plates?

The statement that temporary license plates are usually valid for 30 days is correct. In Colorado, temporary license plates are typically issued to allow vehicle registration to be completed while the permanent plates are in transit. The 30-day validity period gives the new owner or dealer enough time to finalize registration with the DMV and receive their permanent plates.

Temporary plates serve as a legal identifier for vehicles during this transitional phase and offer assurance to other drivers and law enforcement that the vehicle is being legally used. The 30-day duration is standard practice, though it may vary in specific circumstances depending on the laws or dealership practices. This timeframe helps ensure that all vehicles on the road have a proper registration.

In contrast to this, the other statements are misleading. For instance, temporary plates cannot be issued indefinitely as they are designed to be a temporary solution until permanent plates are obtained. Similarly, while dealers can issue multiple sets of temporary plates to various customers, they do not have a limit of only one issuance per vehicle or customer. Additionally, while temporary plates must be displayed on the vehicle during their validity, they are not required to be on every vehicle, as they are only meant for those currently awaiting permanent registration.
