Surprisingly, in most states, the answer is yes! But the process is complicated. As we have already discussed, in order to register your vehicle, you need to show that you own the vehicle and that it is insured. You also need a form of ID for yourself, which for most people means a valid driver's license.
Similarly one may ask, what do I need to register my car at the DMV?
In order to register your vehicle, you will typically need to bring the vehicle's title, a bill of sale and proof of tax payment, your driver's license, and either your insurance ID card or another form that provides proof of insurance.
Beside above, can someone else register my car for me?
Yes, you can register a vehicle for someone who cannot make it to a registry office. To complete the registration, you will need to bring the person's proof of ownership, proof of car insurance, and their ID.
You don't necessarily need to own the car to get it insured. You can often simply add your name to the title. Co-titling can be difficult if there's a loan on the vehicle, but if it's paid off, it's a way to give yourself insurable interest in a vehicle.
