When you buy a car from dealership is it registered?

When you buy a car from a dealership, the dealership is required to register the vehicle with the Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV). The dealership will handle all of the paperwork and fees associated with registering the vehicle, and will provide you with a temporary registration document that you can use to drive the vehicle until the permanent registration arrives in the mail.

In some states, the dealership may also be responsible for obtaining the license plates for the vehicle. However, in other states, you may need to go to the DMV yourself to obtain the license plates. Be sure to ask the dealership about the process for obtaining license plates in your state.

Once the vehicle is registered, you will be responsible for renewing the registration annually. The registration renewal process varies from state to state, but typically involves paying a fee and providing proof of insurance.
