Getting a vehicle is always an exciting adventure. It does not matter if it is your first car or if you have already purchased many vehicles in the past. Making the decision to buy a car is a big step, and it must be taken carefully to avoid any inconveniences.

Whenever you purchase a car, whether it is new or used, it must be registered to be legally driven in your state of residence. In addition, when you change your residential address to another state, you will have to follow the procedure to transfer your registration. The entire process looks very complicated, but it does not have to be. This Road Advisors Guide will assist you in each step of your path toward registering your vehicle. You will also learn how to transfer your registration from another state and how to renew your vehicle registration even when you are out of state. Our guide lets you know exactly which documents and forms you need to register your car. Let us help you get your vehicle registration needs completed in no time.

You will need to have proof of financial responsibility, also known as liability insurance, to drive your car legally in Maryland.

You must carry proof of insurance at all times, as a police officer may ask you to present it. You will also need proof of insurance in order to register your car or renew your car’s registration. Why do you need insurance? The Maryland Motor Vehicle Administration (MVA) needs to ensure that you have financial protection in case you are part of an accident that causes injuries, damage or death. The MVA requires all cars to be insured by an insurance company licensed in Maryland. Additionally, your car insurance must meet the following minimum standards of coverage:

$30,000 for bodily injury

$60,000 for bodily injury for more than one person

$15,000 for property damage

Liability insurance pays for any injuries or property damage caused by you or other drivers allowed to drive your car. If you are caught driving without insurance in Maryland, you will face fines and a suspended registration.

Before you can take your new vehicle out on the road, you will have to get it registered.

Regardless of whether your car is new, used or previously registered outside of Maryland, you will find all the information you need to register your vehicle below. Just gather some documents, follow the required steps according to your specific situation and you can obtain your registration quickly.

Register a New VehicleWhen you buy a new car at a dealership, you will most likely not have to worry about titling and registering, since the dealership usually takes care of the registration process. In this case, the dealership will give you a bill of sale and license plates when you purchase the vehicle. Typically, they will mail a car title to you later.

| Car-Reg.org

However, if you bought a new car and the dealership did not process the registration and titling for you, you will have to register and title it yourself. To title and register a new car, you will need visit an MVA office or mail the appropriate documents to the following address:

MVA Mail-In Registration Unit6601 Ritchie HighwayGlen Burnie, MD 21062

You will need to present:

If your car already has a title and you only want to register it, complete and submit the Application for New Plates/Stickers & Transfer of Plates or Non-Title Trailers instead.

Your vehicle manufacturer’s Certificate of Origin.

Your insurance certificate.

The dealer’s Bill of Sale.

The Odometer Disclosure Statement.

Required fees.

If you have a lien, you may need to include the lien information on the application. If you send someone else to title and register the car for you, he or she will need to bring a power of attorney document.

Is it time to renew your vehicle registration? Driving with an expired registration can lead to problems.

Of course, these problems can be avoided if you make sure to renew your vehicle’s registration before the expiration date. To help you, we have created a walkthrough for you to follow in order to have your registration renewed with time to spare.

| Car-Reg.org

Important Dates or TimeframesYour Maryland registration must be renewed every two years.

Approximately 60 days before your registration expires, the MVA will mail you a renewal notice. This notice contains a description of the various fees included in your vehicle registration payment, your renew-by date, an explanation of the different renewal options and the requirements for the vehicle inspection program. If you do not receive the notice, contact the MVA or register at an MVA office to receive it via e-mail. If you change your address, make sure you notify the MVA. Otherwise, the notice will be sent to your old address on file with the MVA.

Renewing OnlineThanks to technology and eMVA, keeping your registration updated is simpler than ever. When you renew online, you can accomplish everything without leaving your house.

You may renew online if your registration is within two months of expiring or already expired and if you do not have any outstanding traffic tickets or insurance violations. If you have moved, you must notify the MVA with your new address. Renewing online is easy if you just follow these steps:

Have your title and license plate numbers ready.

Have a Visa, American Express or MasterCard debit/credit card to pay the fees.

Visit eMVA.

Follow the prompts on the website.

Once you finish renewing, you will receive your registration documents within 10 days.

TipYou may also use the eMVA kiosks located at all MVA offices or, if you prefer, you may call 1-410-768-7000 and process your renewal over the phone.


https://securetransactions.mva.maryland.gov/emvastore/(S(bey2btfwznuzfsq2pi1g5snh))/MustHave2.aspx


| Car-Reg.org

Renewing by MailIf you are out-of-state and you cannot renew online, or if you simply prefer not to renew online or in person, the MVA allows you to renew by mail. If you have any outstanding parking citations, insurance violations or other issues, you will need to address those before you are able to renew your registration. To renew your registration by mail, you must:

Follow the instructions that are found in your registration renewal notice.

Confirm all the information on the notice, including the insurance information. If any information is incorrect or missing, you must correct or add information in the grey area of the notice.

Sign the renewal notice.

Enclose your notice together with a check or money order (no cash) payable to the MVA in the pre-addressed envelope that arrived with your renewal notice.

• Include your driver’s license number and your work or home phone number on the check. The check must be preprinted with your name and address.

Mail the pre-addressed envelope with all required materials inside.

The MVA will mail the new registration card and sticker to you within two weeks.

TipIf you are using this method, do it at least 15 days before the expiration date so you avoid a late renewal.

| Car-Reg.org

Renewing in Person

You may renew your Maryland vehicle registration in person only if you have flagging issues that prevent you from renewing using another method. These flagging issues include unpaid parking citations and insurance violations and other problems. Before you can renew, you must first contact the agency that placed the flag on your record. You can find a list of flagging entities here.

You can renew your registration in person at an MVA office, a tag and title service, some county treasurer’s offices or the MVA’s mobile office. However, the county treasurer’s offices only issue registration stickers. You will need to go to one of the other locations listed above to get license plates and other registration materials. Furthermore, you may be required to pay an additional service fee if you do not obtain your renewed registration directly from the MVA. To renew your registration in person, you will need to bring:

Your car registration renewal notice.

• If you do not have your renewal notice, you can instead present identification at an MVA office and complete the Application for New Plates/Stickers & Transfer Plates or Non-Title Trailers.

Your insurance information.

Credit/Debit card, check or cash for payment.

FeesSince the registration fees will vary depending on your vehicle’s weight and model, we recommend you verify them in the fee chart.

Vehicle Safety Tips

Before you get behind the wheel, it is important to make sure that your vehicle is safe and prepared for any trip. This means checking the safety features and making any needed changes to your vehicle to guarantee a safe drive. Be sure to regularly check that your brakes are functioning properly and your tires are inflated and not worn out. Have the steering and suspensions checked by a mechanic.

Emergency Kit One of the essentials to safe driving is having a basic emergency kit available in your vehicle at all times. This kit should include items such as water, extra batteries, rope, First Aid items, matches and a whistle. During the winter months, it is also important to carry items such as blankets, non-perishable foods, a shovel and extra gloves and socks.

| Car-Reg.org

Winter Driving One of the most dangerous times to drive is during the winter, especially if you live in an area that is prone to ice and snowfall. Consider the tips below to drive safely during the winter.

Don’t Rush!

Roads are often covered in snow and ice after snowfall. Instead of driving fast and risking an accident as you hurry to get to your destination, try leaving a few minutes earlier than usual. This will allow you to drive slower and avoid other dangerous drivers without being late for your appointment.

Don’t Panic If You Skid or Slip

In the event that your vehicle does skid or slip while you are driving, make sure you do not panic and slam down on your brakes. Instead, apply slow and even pressure on your brakes until you stop. This will prevent you from spinning further out of control.

Check Your Vehicle

Before you leave your house, make sure your vehicle’s controls, brakes, tank, tires, antifreeze and exhaust are all in working order. It is also important that you remove any ice and snow from your car before you begin driving. This prevents the snow from blocking your view while you drive or flying off and hitting someone while the vehicle is in motion.

| Car-Reg.org

Drinking And Driving Every year, thousands are killed as a result of drinking and driving. These unfortunate events can be prevented if drivers plan ahead of time and take certain steps.

Before you begin drinking, arrange for someone else to be the designated driver. If they also become intoxicated, it is important that you take a taxi. Never allow someone drunk to drive. Instead, take away their keys and call for alternative transportation. If you see someone who you suspect is drunk and showing signs of intoxication while driving – such as making wide turns, weaving, swerving, breaking erratically or turning abruptly – call 9-1-1 and contact authorities immediately. Make sure to avoid them on the road to ensure your own safety. This could mean you pulling over until they are at a safe distance from your car.

Using Your Phone

Driving while using your cell phone is one of the most dangerous actions you can perform. During those few seconds that your attention is diverted to your phone, a major accident could occur. Make sure to avoid texting, using the internet on your phone or receiving calls while you drive.

Aggressive Driving

Aggressive driving and drivers should both be avoided to prevent on-road aggression or accidents. Aggressive driving is categorized as exhibiting behaviors such as tailgating, verbal or physical harassment towards another driver or preventing another driver from merging or passing. If you are an aggressive driver, you are putting others at risk every time you engage in any of the above behaviors. When you encounter a frustrating situation on the road, instead of becoming aggressive, take a moment, breathe, and continue moving

Wasting Gas

If you drive often, you can start looking for ways to save on those expensive trips to the pump. Some of the ways that you can start saving gas are turning off the air conditioning, not leaving your engine running and avoiding speeding. These things are preventable and not necessary for you to drive. Therefore, you can quickly reduce the amount of gas you waste. Another way to save on gas is to make sure that your vehicle is functioning properly. You can do this by checking that your tires are properly inflated and your engine is properly tuned.
