DMV/MVDB processes your order for temporary transport plates and sends you a
complete package containing the plates and all associated forms needed to issue and
account for the plates. Specifically the packet includes.

When you receive an order of temporary transport plates, check the contents of the packet
carefully to insure that it contains:

b. a sufficient supply of all forms mentioned above
If your order is incorrect or incomplete in any way, immediately notify DMV/MVDB
2.6.8 Maintaining an Adequate Supply
It is the dealership’s responsibility to maintain an adequate supply of temporary transport
plates. If ordered by mail, the new order should be submitted at least two weeks before
you expect to run out of your current order.
2.6.9 Refund for Unused Plates
Refunds for unused plates are generally not allowed. DMV/MVDB will not allow any
credit or refund any money for unused temporary transport plates except in the following
circumstances:

you have failed to comply with the Virginia Motorcycle Dealer Licensing Laws
governing the issuance of temporary transport plates by a dealer
b. when your dealership goes out of business
NOTE: At no time will DMV/MVDB give a refund for opened packs of plates.
