No, you cannot wait until April of 2010 (next year) when your Ohio license plates and registration expire to register and plate your vehicle in Maryland if you have moved there from OH and are now considered a resident of Maryland.
The Maryland Motor Vehicle Administration (MVA) states that as a new resident of Maryland you must register your vehicle within 60 days of moving to Maryland. If you delay beyond 60 days, you will not be eligible for a tax credit for any titling tax paid in another state, and you may be subject to a citation for an out of state registration. From what we have read unpaid registration fees in Maryland is a misdemeanor, subject to a fine not to exceed $500. When applying for Maryland registration and title on your vehicle you must include your insurance information. Liability insurance policies must be obtained from an approved insurance company licensed to do business in Maryland to be accepted by the MVA.
