Vehicle License vs. Title
Vehicle licenses and titles are not the same. The license grants you the right to use the vehicle, while the title establishes who legally owns it.
The vehicle license or registration is the official permission slip to operate your vehicle on public roads. It’s typically renewed annually and confirms that your vehicle meets state requirements. The license displays essential information like the vehicle’s identification number (VIN), owner details (the fleet leasing company), and the expiration date.
The vehicle title is the legal document proving ownership of the vehicle. It’s a more permanent document that includes details about the vehicle’s history and any lienholders.
Meeting Your State Registration Requirements
When working with large national leasing corporations, the responsibility for obtaining and maintaining vehicle licenses (registrations) often falls on you, the lessee. This means you’re responsible for ensuring that each vehicle in your fleet has the necessary documentation to operate legally on public roads.
The typical process involves several steps. You’ll need to gather the required documents, which usually include the lease agreement, proof of insurance, and potentially other paperwork depending on your state. You’ll then pay the registration fees and any applicable taxes. And don’t forget to make sure that all registrations are renewed on time each year to avoid penalties, fines, or having your vehicles taken off the road.
Vehicle licensing and registration regulations vary significantly from state to state. Here are a few examples:
- Texas: Texas has a multi-year fleet registration program for fleets with 12 or more vehicles, allowing for registration periods of up to eight years.
- Washington: Washington requires vehicles to pass emissions tests, and the frequency of these tests can vary depending on the vehicle’s age and location.
- Colorado: Colorado counties have different fee structures, impacting the overall cost of registration. Some counties may also require additional documentation.
- Ohio: Ohio offers online registration renewal, but specific requirements, like proof of insurance, must be met.
