Make an appointment online to complete your process
As far as I know you can trade tags but from the same state, if you're going to register the new car (from Virginia) in Maryland you still can do it my husband did it before but nowadays is better to asked, I recommend to make an appointment online for new title and once you there tell them you'll transfer tags, hope you make it.
Should be just be a matter of contacting each MVA.
