Register a vehicle

Register a vehicle to a character or business, renew its registration and report it stolen.

Registering a vehicle puts it on record with its owner. Open Civilian, then Vehicles.

Register a vehicle

  1. Press Register Vehicle.
  2. Pick the Owner: one of your alive characters, or a business you own.
  3. Enter a Plate, 1 to 8 letters or digits. Statewide checks it is free as you type.
  4. Enter a VIN (17 characters, no I, O or Q), or leave it blank to generate one. If your community doesn't let civilians choose VINs, it is always generated.
  5. Fill in Year, Make, Model, Color and Plate state. A plate state other than your community's shows an Out of state badge.
  6. Pick Insured with an Insurer, or Uninsured. See Insure a vehicle.

When your community requires DMV approval, the registration goes to the DMV queue ("Registration sent to DMV"). Otherwise it is valid at once.

Registration status

  • Pending: waiting for the DMV.
  • Valid: for one year; the vehicle page shows the end date.
  • Expired: the year ran out.
  • Denied: refused by the DMV, with a reason.
  • Suspended: by the DMV or police.

Renew Registration opens 30 days before the registration ends, and stays open once it has expired.

Stolen and recovered

Report Stolen marks the vehicle stolen; Mark Recovered clears it. A vehicle flagged by police can't be deleted or transferred.
