If you received a vehicle as a gift, the title transfer must be completed by an Act of Donation and notarized as an authentic act. You’ll need the original vehicle title. Everyone listed on the front of the title must be present to sign. The receiver of the vehicle must also be present to sign. If a license plate is needed, bring proof of insurance for the vehicle in the recipient’s name. FastPass will handle the rest.
My car must go into the shop, so I’d like to cancel my insurance. Do I need to turn in my plate?
Yes. To avoid fines for having no insurance, you must cancel your license plate before cancelling your liability insurance. If you’d like to keep the same plate for future use, that’s no problem! Simply visit any FastPass location to sign a Statement of Non-Use. Once that’s done, the plate must be removed from the vehicle.

Driver’s license renewals can be done 180 days (six months) before expiration date.
Can I use my current driver’s license picture at renewal or for duplicate?
The state requires a new photo to be taken for all renewals, duplicates, or any updates to your license. This ensures that your records remain accurate and up to date.
Can I change my name on my driver’s license due to marriage/divorce?
Yes, but first you’ll need to update your name with the Social Security Administration and wait at least 24 hours, then bring the confirmation letter they issue. You’ll also need a certified copy of your name change documents, such as a marriage license, divorce decree, court order, or birth certificate. You’ll also need a valid proof of insurance if you're listed on a vehicle title.

What is a No Insurance (NI) Flag? Why do I have one on my driver’s license?
A No Insurance (NI) Flag is placed on your license when the State of Louisiana is notified that your vehicle insurance has lapsed or been canceled. Insurance providers send these notifications electronically to the state. This happens often in error if you’ve recently switched insurance companies. We’ll research the cause, explain the issue, and guide you in collecting any required documents to help clear the flag and avoid unnecessary penalties.
