Hello,
My friend just bought a 2004 Prius and it already has the HOV stickers on it. Does he needs to reapply for it again or does it automatically get transfer it to him? Since the Doc that comes with the HOV sticker has the name of the previous owner, should he just request for a name transfer? I have called around and the people at the DMV give me the run-around and no one has a clue, as to what to do. Some of them told me to re-apply for the sticker and some told me to just "drive" with the existing stickers (even if it has the different name - "since you'll not be pulled over".
Since the people at the DMV don't even know whether or not the stickers are transferable, how are we suppose to know? My friend does not mind re-applying for the new ones but wouldn't he get a new set of stickers with Different numbers on them and has to apply them on top of the "old" stickers?
If anyone knows what the proper procedure is, I'll appreciate your inputs.
thank you in advance!
