The court promptly shall send a copy of the order to the registrar of motor vehicles.
Upon receipt of the order from the court, neither the registrar nor any deputy registrar shall accept any application for the registration, registration renewal, or transfer of registration of any motor vehicle owned or leased by the person named in the order during the period that the person's license, permit, or privilege is suspended, unless the registrar is properly notified by the court that the order of suspension has been canceled. When the period of suspension expires or the order is canceled, the registrar or deputy registrar shall accept the application for registration, registration renewal, or transfer of registration of the person named in the order.
