How to register a car for two years in Maryland?
Completed Car Application for a Certificate of Title:
The Maryland Department of Transportation (MDOT) requires all applicants who wish to register their vehicle in Maryland to fill out form VR-005. Please note that the titles from the state of Maryland have the form VR-005 on the back, and you can fill out this form directly on the title.
Form VR-005 indicates that a sale has occurred and includes the signatures of both the seller and buyer. Be aware that if you fill out the back of the title incorrectly, you may encounter issues when registering your vehicle, and you might even need to ask the previous owner to request a duplicate title.
Alternatively, suppose the back of the Maryland title is already filled out because the vehicle has been sold multiple times in the past. In that case, you should print out the form VR-005 and present it on the day of vehicle registration along with the rest of the documents.
Note: Ensure you obtain the signature of the vehicle’s owner and not the signature of a family member or friend.
How to Obtain: Visit the 1A Maryland Registration Tag & Title office with the necessary documents, and the staff will assist you in completing the application.
Proof of Ownership
To transfer ownership of a vehicle in Maryland during a sale, the seller must provide the buyer with the necessary paperwork:
Vehicle's title:
This document confirms the legal ownership of the vehicle. It should bear the signatures and dates from both the seller and the buyer.
Bill Of Sale:
Although not legally required in Maryland, it is advisable to have a bill of sale when buying a vehicle. This document records important transaction details such as the sale date, sale price, and the names and signatures of both the buyer and seller.
Pro Tips:
- Ensure the title is registered under the seller’s name and there are no outstanding liens.
- Confirm that the Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) on the title corresponds with the VIN on the vehicle.
- For added legal validity, consider having the bill of sale notarized.
- Retain duplicates of all transaction-related documents for your records.
- Documents Required: Vehicle title.

Lien Information
(If Needed):

Documents Required: Ask the seller to give you all the proper information or contact the lienholder to obtain the necessary information.
Bill of Sale
(If Needed):
This is a legal document that outlines the terms and conditions of the vehicle sale.
- When It’s Required: If you have recently purchased the vehicle and need to provide proof of the sale.
Maryland Safety
Inspection Certificate:
A safety inspection certificate ensures that your vehicle meets Maryland’s safety standards.
- How to Obtain: Inspect your vehicle at a licensed Maryland inspection station. If the vehicle passes the inspection, you will be issued a safety inspection certificate.
- Note: This is required if you register your vehicle in Maryland for the first time.

This is the mileage on your vehicle’s odometer.
- How to Obtain: Check the vehicle’s dashboard for the odometer and record the mileage.

Renewal Process in Maryland for your Vehicle.
At 1A Maryland Registration Tag & Title, we understand that renewing your vehicle registration can be a complex task. That’s why we offer a simplified guide to help you navigate the various options available for renewal. Whether you want to renew your Maryland vehicle registration by mail, online, or in person, we’ve got you covered.
Options for Renewing Your Registration:
1- By Mail: To register your vehicle by mail in Maryland, follow these steps:
- Review the information on your registration renewal notice. Make any necessary corrections or changes in the gray area provided.
- If the vehicle is company-owned, the person signing the notice must indicate their official capacity.
- If you are not a company official, do not personally own the vehicle, or have leased the vehicle, you must include a Power of Attorney (VR-470) with the renewal notice. A copy of the registered owner(s) state-issued identification must accompany the Power of Attorney, and the person submitting must present their state-issued identification.
- Verify the insurance information to ensure it’s complete and correct. If it’s not printed on your renewal notice, you must provide it.
- Complete any enclosed certifications that may be required with your renewal notice.
- Enclose your renewal notice(s) and your check or money order payable to MVA in the provided envelope. Do not send cash. The check must include a preprinted name and address. Write your driver’s license number and home or work phone number on the check.
- Mail the envelope to the MVA’s address on the renewal notice.
Exceptions and Additional Steps:
- If your vehicle registration is being withheld due to insurance violations or other MVA issues, you must visit an MVA full-service location.
- Outstanding parking tickets must be paid directly in the district where they were received, not at an MVA office.
- If the vehicle is sold, traded, or junked and you still need to transfer the plates, discard the renewal notice and return the plates to an MVA office to avoid penalty fees.
- If you have yet to use your second year’s registration, you may apply for a refund.
- If your plates have been transferred to a new vehicle, record the new vehicle information in the gray areas on the renewal notice.
- If your license plates are lost or mutilated, indicate this on your renewal notice and include the applicable fees. Remember to return any old plates to an MVA office when you receive new ones.
Please note that the MVA is closed on official state holidays, and all transactions must be completed before the expiration of your current registration.
NOTE: The MVA is now the MDOT. Please confirm all information directly: [MVA Maryland](https://mva.maryland.gov/vehicles/Pages/registration/renew.aspx). Online Registration Renewals: The Maryland MVA offers a two-year registration renewal online. However, it’s crucial to understand that online renewals are only sometimes possible for some vehicle owners in Maryland.
2- Local MVA Office: If you prefer in-person service, you can renew your registration at your local Motor Vehicle Administration (MVA) office in Maryland, including Glen Burnie. The MVA mandates a two-year registration renewal.
3- 1A Maryland Registration Tag & Title Services: Unlike the MVA/MDOT, we offer the flexibility of a one-year registration in addition to the standard two-year registration. This is especially beneficial for those who may want to wait to commit to a two-year registration.
