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 without insurance in Virginia, the dealer must handle the titling, registering, and payment of fees directly with the DMV. This process ensures that the vehicle is officially documented and that all legal requirements are met, even if the customer doesn't have insurance coverage at that moment. It is essential because the thirty-day tag serves as a temporary registration that provides the customer with the legal authority to operate the vehicle on public roads while they arrange for proper insurance.

Taking responsibility for the titling and registration simplifies the process for the customer and ensures compliance with state laws, which is particularly important during the interim period before insurance is acquired.
