What is the process for registering a new vehicle?

Asked 6 months ago
To register a new vehicle in Washington, you must visit a vehicle licensing office with the required documents, including the Manufacturer's Certificate of Origin or the previous owner's title, a bill of sale or purchase order, and a completed Vehicle Certificate of Ownership (Title) Application. You will also need to provide proof of insurance and pay the registration fees. If your vehicle is from out-of-state, you may need to have it inspected before registering. Once all necessary documents and fees are submitted, you will receive your license plates and registration card. (Note: Additional information and steps may be required depending on the specific circumstances of the vehicle registration process.)
