Used Cars: Paper plate expires?, metal tag, hey jay

Question
Hey Jay,
 Ibought a car a couple of weeks ago. The paper plate is dated 1/21. Should I have the real plates and registration sticker by the 21st? what if they havent arrived yet?  

Answer
Well I dont know what state you are in, or their rules, here in oklahoma, we put a paper plate over the metal tag, if the metal tag was still good, you could just rip the paper off, and ride on the metal tag.  You should have all that you need by the date on the tag, you really need to get in touch with where you purchased it, and have them figure it out in a timely manner.
