GRACE PERIOD FOR REPLACEMENT OF LICENSE PLATES OR DECALS AND RENEWAL OF
REGISTRATIONS (§ 46.2-647)

The Commissioner may, on finding either that the Department is unable to
efficiently handle the replacement of license plates or decals or the renewal of
registrations scheduled to expire during a specific month, or that persons
seeking to secure license plates, decals, or registration renewals are, as a
group, unable to do so without being substantially inconvenienced, declare a
grace period for the replacement of license plates or decals and the renewal of
registrations. The declaration of a grace period shall have the effect of
postponing the expiration of those license plates, decals, and registrations
scheduled to expire on the last day of that month to the fifteenth day of the
succeeding month.
