After a loved one’s passing, you may need to deal with items such as driver’s licenses, license plates, and handicap placards that have specific rules governing how they are discarded. Because some of these items can be used toward identity theft, it is important you follow these rules.
Contact the State Tax Commissioner at 601-923-7000 and ask for the tag and title division. They will help you go through the process of surrendering the driver’s license, license plates, and disabled person placards with a process that varies depending on the county where you live.
For more information, email: [email protected]. Or call the Mississippi Department of Public Safety at (601) 987-1212 or (601) 987-1224.
