United States
Vehicle registration in the United States is managed by each state's department of motor vehicles (DMV) or another agency if one does not exist (e.g., Texas Department of Transportation, Michigan Secretary of State).
Passenger and commercial vehicles must be registered as a condition of use on a public road. Vehicles not used on public roads, such as tractors or vehicles whose use is limited to private property, are not always required to be registered.
Vehicle registration laws vary from state-to-state.
There are different types of vehicle registration including: Antique, Combo, Apportioned, Commercial, and SUB.
In most U.S. states, a liability insurance policy that meets the state's auto insurance requirements must be purchased before a vehicle may be registered through the department of motor vehicles.
The average cost of license/registration in the United States was $220 in 1997 ($319 in 2011 dollars).
