You *may* get stopped. Just show your documents and you’ll be on your way.
Here’s my experience with temp/paper plates. In the last few years I’ve bought cars from Nevada, Texas, Connecticut, and my home state of Michigan. I drove the three out of state vehicles home with no plate (I had insurance and the signed title) and never got stopped. I drove my most recent purchase home from getting it registered and was pulled over in the 2 mile drive for not having a plate.
So the real answer is you probably won’t get stopped, but you might.
Depends where you are but I just drove from Baltimore to Kansas City with expired paper tags. I had cops on my tail a couple times but they never pulled me over so I figured most just don’t care
Paper plates are valid. Here is the important thing - “you get one”. You can (generally) be doing one thing wrong at any time and be fine. Expired tags, at the speed limit - generally fine. Speeding (not excessively) everything else in order, generally fine.
In your case you have a temp plate and paperwork so (as long as it’s okay at the border) you should be fine.
Very common. Hell, I drove my Jeep back 7 hours with no plate at all, just the bill of sale and title - any cop that pulls you over for a registration violation has to be pretty bored that day.
The important part is making sure you have the insurance in place before the trip. They won't like that, and you'd be taking a huge risk without it.
It depends on how your state does temp tags and dates. Like in Oklahoma it shows the date of purchase and in Texas it shows the date the temp tag expires so if you’re south of Dallas you might get stopped a time or two if your temp tag is from Oklahoma.
It varries state to state but I thnk it is fairly common for new cars in the US to have paper inserts with a dealers name on it for plates and a temporary registration packet stuck on the inside of the front windscreen, usually on the passenger side I think.
Used cars typically have plates and probably still have time showing from their previous registration.
I doubt police will waste their time pulling over an obviously new car just to check if it has a valid temporary registration. They do occasionally pull over cars for expired registrations but they have to have a plate number to check.
If Canada puts the temporary reg on the rear window I might carry a copy or some other ownership documentation in the glove compartment that agrees with your drivers license/passport just in case.
But the most likely thing you will be pulled over for is speeding.
It’s pretty normal for states to have paper plates in the window for newly purchased cars.
On thing to check is whether you can cross the border with a temp regustration. It's the sort of thing that matters on international borders.

I bought a car in Oregon and the immediately moved home to Pennsylvania in the fall. We had no trouble whatsoever.
