Louisiana Notary Here,
On a vehicle you do not have insurance on with a regular plate (not specialty) you have to cancel the plate concurrent w ith the insurance. however if you have a specialty plate you may inactivate it with a NON USE affidavit but you have to go to the DMV office and file the inactivation and then when you decide to reactivate the plate, you must go back to DMV with proof of insurance and reactivate. I have a Ham Plate (Amateur Radio) and it travels with me, not the truck so specialty plates are treated a little different.
