What documents do I need to bring for a vehicle registration?

Asked 6 months ago
To register your vehicle in Wisconsin with the DMV, you must bring certain documents. This includes the filled-out Title/License Plate Application (MV1), proof of vehicle ownership, such as the vehicle title or Manufacturer’s Certificate of Origin (MCO), photo identification, and a document providing proof of residency, like a utility bill or lease agreement. Additionally, you must have valid proof of vehicle insurance and be prepared to pay the required registration and titling fees. If the vehicle was purchased from a private party, submit a completed odometer disclosure statement (MV2489). For leased vehicles, a copy of the lease agreement and a power of attorney are necessary. Lastly, if there are any liens or loans on the vehicle, bring the lienholder's contact information. Ensure you have all the necessary documents before visiting the DMV for a smooth registration process.
