What happens if my license plate is registered in different state than I currently live in or if I travel to another state?
NextPass is designed to work across multiple states, but there are some important considerations when using it with a license plate registered in a different state or when traveling:
- Multi-state coverage: NextPass currently operates on toll roads in 18 states, including Delaware, Florida, Georgia, Illinois, Indiana, Kentucky, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, New York, North Carolina, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, Texas, Virginia, and West Virginia.
- License plate recognition: The system relies on license plate recognition technology, so it should work regardless of which state your plate is from, as long as you’re driving on a supported toll road in one of the covered states.
- Registration state vs. current location: NextPass focuses on the license plate itself rather than your current residence. As long as your license plate is correctly registered in the NextPass system, it should work in any of the supported states.
- Traveling to other NextPass-supported states: When traveling to states covered by NextPass, you can use the service without needing to make any changes to your account. The toll agencies in these states will recognize your plate and process the charges through NextPass.
- Unsupported states: If you travel to a state not covered by NextPass, you’ll need to use alternative methods to pay for tolls, such as cash payments, temporary transponders, or the state’s specific toll payment system.
- Vehicle registration requirements: It’s important to note that while NextPass may work across state lines, you should still comply with your current state’s vehicle registration requirements. Most states require you to update your vehicle registration when you move.
- Accuracy of information: Ensure that the license plate information in your NextPass account is up-to-date and accurate, regardless of which state issued the plate.
Remember, NextPass is designed for use on free-flowing toll roads and doesn’t work with gated toll booths. Always check the specific toll facilities and requirements for any state you plan to visit to avoid potential violations or additional fees.
