The Trip

Price: $398.00

Scenario: You’ve just moved to town and need the whole kit and caboodle for your vehicle done. Or you simply need to have lots and lots of our services completed. Then our combined “Trip” package is for you. You can get everything done in one day for a more economical price. The Trip includes Title, Registration, Inspection, and Parking Permit.

Lead Time: We need 48 hours
notice for this service.

Turnaround Time: You’ll receive it the same day.

Below you'll find a list of simple things we will need from you in order to assist with the process of registering your car in the District of Columbia.

2 photocopies of your DC Driver's License
Completed DMV Forms (Don't worry! If you have trouble understanding these, we can fill them out together)
Title Application Form
Power of Attorney Form
Title for the vehicle (original document, please- they won't accept copies of any kind)
Certificate of Insurance (copies are acceptable). Please note that this document must list:
1. Make of the car (Toyota, Mercedes, etc)
2. VIN # (this is a 17 digit number)
3. Model (2 door, 4 door, SUV, or CV)
4. Your current DC address
5. Policy start and end date
Odometer Statement (this is the car's mileage found on the gauge display)
Two Checks: A blank check made out to "DC Treasurer". You will get a receipt from the DMV, which will have a complete breakdown of the fees. A check made out to USVRS for $398.00 (note: We recommend writing the make, year, and the last 6 digits of your VIN number in the memo section of each check.)

Vehicle Prep:

Please remove all money, electronics, and valuables from the vehicle.
The gas tank should be at least 1/2 full.
The vehicle's interior should be clean.
Inform the driver of any peculiar/odd habits the vehicle may have.

Please keep in mind that your vehicle has to pass inspection before it can be registered in the District. In the event that your vehicle fails, don't worry! We'll give you free advice about what to do and where to go (as well as info on associated fees).

You will receive your vehicle title in the mail 10 to 15 days after registration (*if there is no lien, loan, security agreement, or lease). As a rule, the DMV will send it in a nondescript envelope that may seem like junk, so please be mindful of that when you're sifting through your mail at the end of the day.

*If the vehicle has a lien, loan, security agreement, or lease; the title will be sent directly to the institution.

Special note:If your title doesn’t get mailed to you (or your bank/lease holder) in 15 days, don’t worry. As a courtesy to you, we will make another trip to make sure the title gets where it needs to be.

So...what should you do with the old license plates? Turn them in as soon as possible. If they're from DC, MD, or VA; you can hire us to do this for you, as well, and we will give you the receipt that you will need for your insurance. In all other jurisdictions, we recommend asking a friend or family member to turn the plates in to the DMV office on your behalf. Never send them in the mail.
