Just 100 yen? The matter of wanting the license plate from a motorcycle being sold

Lately I’ve been getting the feeling that customers know more about this stuff than I do….
What do you all think?

They said, “Please get the old license plate for me when you do the title transfer.”


Is that even possible? I mean…. it shouldn’t be, right? Google sensei….
Click click….

Wow (‘ω’)
No way, you really can do it! I’m genuinely impressed.

It might differ depending on which transport bureau has jurisdiction.
There’s a license plate return counter, so I’d recommend checking there.

This time I applied during the title transfer. (Sakai → Shinagawa)

When returning the license plate during the initial procedures of the title transfer, you just tell them “I’d like to keep it as a souvenir”—no special paperwork required.
Pay 100 yen and you’re done.

After that, you proceed with the normal title transfer procedures and you’re finished.

You can get one through the destruction service for 100 yen, so it might be fun to collect them (‘ω’)ノ
