it's not really a drive away plate, it's called a Trip Permit /Prospective Purchaser form. It's a piece of paper allowing you to drive for a single trip and is only valid for 3 days ...... not sure if the days can be extended but you will also need a Liability policy from your insurance company. You will have to display the piece of paper on the rear left window. I bought a car in Canton MI and took me 2 days to drive it back to Virginia Beach. Check your DMV for more info. Good luck
