• Procedural Information: How do I register a vehicle that will be used as a taxicab (class B)?• In order to be registered, your vehicle must first be titled in Maryland. Review the applicable requirements by accessing the

Titling homepage.• Also, prior to the vehicle's registration as a taxicab, the vehicle must be inspected and approved to operate as a taxi by either the

Maryland Public Service Commission (taxi operating in Baltimore City, Baltimore County, Hagerstown, or Cumberland) or by the appropriate local government agency (taxi operating in any other Maryland jurisdiction). A taxicab must be for hire and designed to carry seven or fewer individuals, including the driver.

• The registration period for a taxicab is two years. You can apply for registration (and titling) in person at any of the MVA's full service branch offices. You can also mail in required documents to the MVA's Mail-in Registration Unit in the Glen Burnie office, or go to an MVA licensed tag and title service where they will assist you in applying.

• Typically, the registration application documents needed, along with payment for taxes and fees, include:• Application form - When your vehicle has a Maryland title and you are registering and titling it at the same time, the title can be used as

the application form for both transactions. If the vehicle's title was issued by another state, use the Application for Certificate of Title to apply. If you have already titled the vehicle in Maryland and now want to register it, you will need to complete the Application for New Plates/Stickers & Transfer of Plates or Non-Title Trailers (VR-008).

• Approval from the appropriate regulator agency - If you are operating your taxicab in Baltimore City, Baltimore County, Hagerstown, or Cumberland, the Maryland Public Service Commission must have stamped your application document indicating that they have approved the vehicle for use as a taxicab. If you are operating your taxicab in any other political subdivision you must provide a copy of your operating permit issued by that jurisdiction.

• Class B - Taxicab Certification Form must be completed. • Maryland Safety Inspection Certificate - This Maryland State Police form certifies that your vehicle meets Maryland safety standards. It is

valid for up to 90 days from the date issued unless you bought the vehicle from a Maryland dealer. Then the certificate is valid for a period of 6 months from the inspection date, or when the odometer reading advances 1,000 miles from the reading at the time of inspection, whichever comes first.

• Under certain circumstances, additional information and/or forms may be required:• At the conclusion of the registration process, you will receive license plates, expiration date (month and year) stickers, a receipt for fees

paid and a registration card.
