Yeah, seems a little weird to have another state's plate on the front, even though you don't have to have two NC plates. I would think there would be some rule against that on the books somewhere, although who knows.
I would've liked to have kept my front plate from IL on, only because I had the organ donor awareness plate and NC doesn't have one.... but, not at the risk of getting some sort of ticket or having to remove it when driving out of state.
Its legal because the front plate isnt required and the cops just make sure the one on the rear is legal
Assuming that the front plate is not revoked AND that the state who owns the plate, did not want it back, then I suppose you may be right.
Some states require their plate(s) be returned, once you cancel or they cancel for that matter, that states registration. If you don't, fines can be placed on that registration. If that car gets pulled over, the cops can run both plates on the car. That is when you'll find out if it was legal or not.
The fines can continue to climb and in my home state, once a certain dollar amount is reached(I believe $500.00), they can suspend your drivers license. This is where the pokey comes in.
A lot depends on a lot. IMO, why risk it? Just get a vanity plate. How 'bout an American flag? Although, some will say that is degrading to the flag.
I don't understand states that require 2 plates. Why not require 4, put on the sides of your car as well. Or maybe even the roof?
One plate on the back is sufficient.
No state requires two tags. A plate isn't required on the front of motor vehicles in N.C. so one can keep the old one there. I lived overseas and kept my overseas tags on the front of my car when I returned to South Carolina. Just so I had S.C. tags up to date, I was O.K. One can do this in most states. Just like having a dealership or a novelty tag on front.

Pardon? Most states require two plates, one in the front and one in the back. Here is a list of states that require only one plate:
Alabama, Arizona, Arkansas, Delaware, Florida, Georgia, Indiana, Kansas, Kentucky, Louisiana, Michigan, Mississippi, New Mexico, North Carolina, Oklahoma, Pennsylvania, South Carolina, Tennessee, West Virginia.
Less than half the states in the US allow you to get by with one plate.

I read it wrong. My mistake. I somehow read that a person thought that a person had to have two places from two places. I was confused. How in the world can one do that. Sorry you did all that research due to my misreading. Good job with the clarification though.
