Below are instructional documents on printing TLPs from Quick Tags using 4 different browsers.
A user can only have one Quick Tags session open at a time. If a user tries to log in from another workstation while still logged into another, the system will provide the below error message:
![]()
When each user starts a Report of Sale, a Temporary License Plate Range is provided to that user. If the system goes down, an error message will appear. The user is allowed to continue up to 5 Reports of Sale. When the system is back up and running, the system will sync up the Reports of Sale that were issued while off line.
The system will require a password change every 90 days. The system stores twelve months of passwords so ensure you change your password frequently.
The DMV provides each provider a TLP range. TLPs will be issued to each user randomly.
No.
Yes, the DMV provides us a range to stay within, but users will get randomly generated ROS numbers.
Once you receive your access code and receive your paper, you will be notified when you can start using the system in production. A staged roll out is planned. A select group of dealerships will be going live mid-December. If you are not notified to start earlier, plan on starting on 1/1/2019.
Per the DMV. paper Report of Sale forms will be returned to Dealerships for Electronic Reports of Sale.
This is not necessary. The paper is weather proofed and can be affixed to the vehicle directly.

Any Dealership Employee can enter a ROS, if they don’t have a license number, they’ll have to enter the Sales Person Name and Sales Person License number at the end before the ROS and TLP are issued.
All vehicles using REG 51 forms that don’t have the required number of CA licenses plates will need the number of TLPs required by CA law. (eg. 2 for Autos/Trucks/MCs and 1 for trailers)
For Out of State used vehicles (aka – “Non-Resident”):
Both out of state plates come off and TWO CA Temp Tags should be printed
For California used vehicles (aka – “Resident”):
If vehicle is a California vehicle, the first question to ask is:
Does the vehicle have BOTH California license plates affixed to the vehicle?
If YES….regardless of whether the California license plates are valid or invalid, no Temp Tag is printed.
ROS should be taped in front window as per current process. BOTH California plates MUST be present.
If NO….remove the single plate and print TWO Temp Tags.
The Paper has a watermark and it has a barcode serial number to track each piece.
If a dealer runs out of paper, they can borrow from another dealership, however, we track the paper we shipped to each dealership and report that to the state.
The paper has a barcode on it that contains a serial number. The QR code has vehicle information in it. The same information that is on the TLP.
If you order by 12/10, the paper will arrive within 7 days.
