Yes, you must surrender the old tag or A) move it to a different vehicle and
surrender the tag to that other vehicle or B) assign it to a newly purchased
vehicle. Moving to a different/new vehicle doesn't fix the issue of having
to pay special fees. Then, the only option for "keeping" the old ham tag is
signing an affidavit under oath stating that the tag was either damaged
beyond reclamation (or something along those words) or stolen. After
relocating your tag, to the front you are bound to get some questions from
the po-po.

If anyone pulls their ham tag off, remember to put on the front.
