if such owner has an application pending covering such additions or replacement
vehicle. No fee shall be charged and collected by the division of vehicles
for a letter of authorization or an authorization issued by the division
by an electronic communications device.
(c) A temporary authorization issued under the provisions of this section
shall be carried with the vehicle described in such authorization and, if
such vehicle is a trailer, such authorization shall be carried in the vehicle
supplying the motive power. An authorization issued under the provisions
of this section shall be a valid registration identification device during
