Vehicle Registration and Titles
DC law requires that all vehicles housed and operated in the District be registered in the District unless the owner displays a reciprocity sticker issued by DMV. Persons moving to the District, who have a valid registration from another jurisdiction, have 30 days from the date of entering DC to obtain a registration. Only persons or businesses domiciled in DC are eligible for registration. Vehicles must have a DC title and current DC insurance in order to register.
