The first
step in obtaining a DC registration for your vehicle is
getting your car inspected at one of the DC
Vehicle Inspection Centers. If you are purchasing
a new vehicle, your exempt from this requirement.
After you have paid your inspection fees, then certain forms
and documents will be needed in order to register your vehicle.
Please note that you must have a valid DC driver
license at the time of vehicle inspection.
Out of state vehicles will be required to pay any and all
parking violations before license plates are issued. |
