Louisiana Vehicle Registering Procedures

As usual, one needs to gather a set of papers to complete the vehicle registration. In Louisiana, besides the bill of sale, the list of documents consists of:

  • ID card or driving license (a document that identifies you and carries your photo)
  • Title Certificate
  • Certificate of Inspection
  • Vehicle Application
  • Insurance Proof
  • Registration of the vehicle (from a former owner)

A new owner has to obtain a new registration in 20 days after buying a vehicle. The applications are accepted in the local Office of Motor Vehicles. You may find one in each Louisiana parish. Every vehicle purchaser needs to provide the office with the full documents package.

Vehicle Application is a special form that is applied in Louisiana. The form number is DPSMV 1799.

Vehicle registration in Louisiana also means paying all the fees and taxes that are included in the process. For instance, you will have to pay four percent of the vehicle price additionally.

There are several additional conditions that you should follow while registering a vehicle in Louisiana. Firstly, if the vehicle is less than ten years old, add the documents’ mileage number. Secondly, the person that finances the purchase will need to add a UCC-1 Financing Statement or a security agreement. A chattel mortgage works as well.
