Default Registration sticker (omg can't take it off)

I am having a problem with the registration sticker, I want to put the new one up but I can't find a way to take it off. Should I use a knife or something to slice it off? I even tried to blow it with hair dryer lol...

I always use a razor blade to get the stick off. If you're careful enough, there shouldnt' be any scratch on the license plate. Don't forget to slice the sticker afterward so no one will steal your sticker. People will steal anything these days.

the local auto parts stores sell razors specifically for taking of registration and inspection stickers. all it is, is a razor with a handle of the end to make it an easy reach, i bought 1 for around $8

A nice new razor blade should do the trick. I've done it without a hick-up.

razor blade, don't forget to cross hatch the stuck on one with a razor blade to prevent theft of the sticker.

I used an Exacto last time and it peeled off pretty easily.
