How to Register (3 steps)
1. VIN Inspection
Complete a VIN (Vehicle Identification Number) inspection. Form MVT 5-10 must be completed, which permits a government official to complete the inspection.[1][2] Bring the completed bill of sale to the inspection, as the official will need proof that the buyer is the true owner.
2. Go to a Licensing Office
A new owner of a new or used vehicle must register within 20 calendar days.[3] Travel to a nearby vehicle licensing office (view offices by county) and bring the following materials:
- Title – The vehicle’s title (should have been signed-over from the previous owner);
- Government-issued ID;
- Bill of Sale – A bill of sale is required that is completed and signed by both parties. It should include the federally required Odometer Disclosure Statement.
- Proof of Insurance – Liability insurance (will be verified through OIVS – bring the physical license card in case it can’t be found digitally).
Alabama Motor Vehicle Power of Attorney – Required if the buyer will have someone else register the vehicle on their behalf.
3. Pay Fee ($)
Pay the required fee (see Registration File Information).
More information can be found on the Alabama Department of Revenue, License Plate and Registration Information page.
