It allows states to have a database of vehicle owners and provide data when tracking a criminal or assessing taxes. It also allows the state to regularly check if a vehicle is complying with its safety standards since a vehicle would need to be registered every year. Vehicle registration processes and wait times vary depending on whether you purchased the vehicle brand new from a dealership or used from a private seller.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Car Registration Process When Car Is Brand New<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Dealerships typically handle vehicle registration when you purchase a brand-new vehicle. Once you drive your vehicle out, they&rsquo;ll give you a temporary operating permit, which allows you to operate the vehicle when all registration fees have been paid but license plates and\/or registration stickers haven&rsquo;t been issued. The license plates will typically arrive at your address anywhere between four to six weeks after registration.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" src=\"https:\/\/www.carparts.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/2023-car-registration-1024x768.jpg\" alt=\"2023 car registration sticker\" class=\"wp-image-80013\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.carparts.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/2023-car-registration-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.carparts.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/2023-car-registration-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.carparts.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/2023-car-registration-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.carparts.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/2023-car-registration-150x113.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.carparts.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/2023-car-registration.jpg 1500w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\"><figcaption>For brand new cars, you&rsquo;ll be given a temporary operating permit after purchasing while you wait for the license plate to arrive 4-6 weeks after registration.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Car Registration Process If Car Is Used<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>If you bought the vehicle from a private seller or if you&rsquo;re registering your vehicle because you moved, you must <a href=\"https:\/\/www.carparts.com\/blog\/when-is-the-best-day-to-go-to-the-dmv-time-saving-guide\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"go to the Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV)\">go to the Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV)<\/a> in your state and apply for registration. In some states, this is sometimes handled in the local town or city clerk&rsquo;s office. This is also the case if ever the dealership didn&rsquo;t register the vehicle for you. It&rsquo;s best to register your vehicle as soon as you move to avoid being pulled over and being seen driving a vehicle that&rsquo;s registered in a different state or to a different owner.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div id=\"article-search-widget\">\n<div class=\"cp-search\">\n<div align=\"center\">\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/cld.partsimg.com\/image\/upload\/w_auto,dpr_auto\/carparts\/logos\/badge_wordmark\/full_color\/CP_LOGO_COLOUR_RGB\" alt=\"CarParts.com\" width=\"300\" height=\"56\">\n<\/div>\n<form id=\"cpsearchform\" name=\"cpsearchform\" action=\"https:\/\/www.carparts.com\/search\" method=\"get\" target=\"_blank\" accept-charset=\"character_set\" aria-label=\"search CarParts.com\">\n    <input type=\"text\" class=\"keyword\" name=\"q\" placeholder=\"Search for parts on CarParts.com\" value=\"\" aria-label=\"Search CarParts.com\"><input type=\"submit\" class=\"btn-search\" value=\"Search\" aria-label=\"Search\">\n<\/form>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Requirements vary slightly from state to state but you generally need to bring your <a href=\"https:\/\/www.carparts.com\/blog\/where-can-you-find-your-car-title-number\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"vehicle&rsquo;s title\">vehicle&rsquo;s title<\/a>.
