what is proof of vehicle registration

A proof of vehicle registration is an official document that provides evidence of a vehicles registration with the state and that it is authorized to be driven. It is used primarily by governments to ensure that all road vehicles are on the national vehicle register, but it is also used as a form of law enforcement and to facilitate change of ownership when buying and selling a vehicle. In Virginia, for example, to register a car with the DMV, you need to provide a proof of ownership document, proof of identity and residency, inspection certificate, proof of insurance, and payment for the registration fees. The registration document includes information such as the vehicle registration number, personal data of the individual to whom the vehicle is registered, vehicle identification number (VIN), engine specifications, and exhaust emissions. It is important to note that a title proves ownership of the vehicle, while registration proves that the vehicle is authorized to be driven.
