E Z PASS. Did you know that you don't need a transponder in all your vehicles? If you download the E Z Pass app and set up your account, you can add vehicles to your account by license plate number. You can have 4 vehicles per a single transponder. This means that when you drive thru a toll reader instead of getting a "Toll by Plate" bill in the mail, you will automatically be charged directly through your E Z Pass account. By using the app, you can add or remove license plate numbers at any time. If you have 1 transponder, you are automatically billed 35.00 when your balance drops below 10.00. Why pay for a transponder in every car when 1 will do up to 4 vehicles? If your child has a vehicle you don't have to put a transponder in the car, just add the plate number to your account. The vehicle doesn't have to be in your name to add a plate to your account.
It's important to maintain an accurate list of plates on the app. So, if you buy a vehicle and get a new plate, add it. Get a replacement plate in the mail from PennDOT to replace your faded plate, be sure and update your app. If a plate is lost or stolen, remove it from the app and report it. If you sell a vehicle secure the old plate, transfer it to another vehicle or return it to PennDOT to have it removed from the system completely. Need help? Contact E Z Pass by phone and review your account, get or return transponders, update your linked bank account info etc. 1-877-736-6727 to contact an E Z Pass agent.

So, you think by driving an Electric Vehicle or a Plug-In Hybrid Electric Vehicle you are not paying fuel tax since you don't buy gasoline or you buy a reduced amount of gasoline? Not so fast.
PennDot has instituted a ROAD USE CHARGE for EVs and PHEVs.
Yep, this started April 1, 2025 actually.
This year, a full EV gets a surcharge of 250.00 and a PHEV gets a surcharge of 63.00. This is in addition to your annual registration fee. Don't pay it and PennDot will put a stop on your vehicle so you can't renew. Currently, you can pay it either all at once or on a payment plan thru this link.

HAPPY NEW YEAR! To all my customers and friends! Thank you for your continued support and friendship!
FYI, I'll be available for notary and title services both Friday and Saturday. Got people home for the holidays and need things transferred or notarized? I'm here if you need me, 724-244-3162.
I look forward to serving your needs in 2026 and helping everyone navigate the beast that is PennDot.
New Years Tip, NEVER let your car insurance lapse for ANY REASON while you have a VALID registration on your vehicle. The problems this causes can be a royal pain. If your car insurance is going to lapse, be sure that either you returned your plate to PennDot, transferred to another vehicle, or let it expire FIRST!

Got a call today from a woman selling a van. The van was co-owned by her and her deceased husband. He passed in May of 24. She never re-titled the van into just her name. Penndot requires that this be done within 30 days after someone deceases.
That said, she wants to sell the van. IF her buyer is a Pennsylvania resident, it's not a problem. As the surviving spouse and co-owner, she can sell the vehicle with a death certificate and the title. However, her potential buyer is from another state. This poses a problem because chances are the DMV in the other state will not accept the title and death certificate. Instead, they will require that the title should have been placed into the spouse's name or an estate prior to being sold to their resident.
If your spouse deceased, and you co-owned vehicles, get those processed into your name alone so when the time comes you can transact without complications. I see this situation all the time.
I can help you handle these titles, we do them online and your corrected titles are returned to you in about 10 days.

TOLL BY PLATE
Do you have old license plates? Are they accounted for? Make sure because what's happening these days is unscrupulous people find plates in the trash or worse yet, steal them and place them on random vehicles, then travel the turnpike or other toll roads and guess who gets the toll by plate bill....you do! Never sell or scrape a vehicle and leave your plate on it, even if you wreck, and your vehicle is going to the body shop for repairs, remove your plate and safeguard it until it's repaired. If you have old license plates and don't want them, then put a note with them that you want them cancelled completely and send them to: RETURN TAG UNIT, PO BOX 68597, HARRISBURG, PA 17106-8597. This can save you a lot of grief!
