When I sell my collector vehicle, can I sell it with the collector plates?

No. When a collector or modified collector vehicle is sold, it does not keep its collector status or plates. The new owner must make a new application for collector status and plates.

I have more than one collector car. Can I get one set of licence plates and switch the plates among them?

Yes. A collector multi-vehicle licence is available if you own several collector vehicles but drive only one at a time.

To be eligible for the collector multi-vehicle licence, the vehicles must:

all be owned by a the same registered owner(s)
all be registered in B.C.
all be pre-approved by ICBC to share the collector vehicle licence
all have collector status, and
be either all cars and trucks or all motorcycles

Can I add another person as a registered owner?

Yes. The best time to do this is when you apply for collector vehicle status.

If you are the sole registered owner of a collector vehicle and want to change to joint ownership, you must reapply for collector status and pay applicable transfer fees.

Can I drive in the U.S. with my collector plates?
