Deal with a vehicle in Louisiana

You need to continue regular car payments, maintain vehicle registration, and then transfer the car's ownership. You cannot drive the car unless you have proper registration, and penalties will be charged if this is not done on time.

Full instructions, which vary according to your specific situation, can be found here: https://www.expresslane.org/Pages/faqs/tar_q6.aspx.

You will also likely need to fill out the Vehicle Application form (DPSMV1799), which can be found by clicking on the link.
