That's what is going to be your worse problem...being stopped. If you
put your canceled check in th eback window, that is just going to
cause more attention to you and will have a greater chance of being
stopped.

Carrying a copy of your canceled check should be pretty persuasive.

That causes more trouble than it's worth. In Oklahoma, I got my
reminder on May 3rd for my May sticker, sent in the check the same
day, got it cashed on May 16th, but still hadn't gotten the sticker on
June 4th. Fortunately, Oklahoma and most other states have a one month
grace period. However, when I called the DMV, I was told I needed a
VIN inspection since I had an out-of-state title, which is odd since
I've had the car registered here for 3 years. I went to the tag
agency, and they told me that since I had lost my sticker, they could
sell me another one for $16. I said I'm not paying twice for something
I never even had once, and called the DMV from in front of the
building. They put me on hold for 30 minutes after I told them that
SOMEONE was doing something wrong, and I hung up. I got the sticker
two days later.
