Buying a car isn’t as simple as many first-time buyers may assume. You can’t just spend your money and then immediately start driving. Getting a new car means having to sign over the title and register the tags. Failure to set this process up or renew as needed could result in fines or license suspension. Working with a tag and title agency could help prevent penalties associated with vehicle registration. From helping you get your first vehicle registered to keeping up with the renewal, tag and title services can help keep you legal on the road.
What is a Tag and Title Agency?
The title of a vehicle shows who it belongs to. In some cases, driving a vehicle that isn’t registered under your name could lead to some legal complications. And the tags help local traffic enforcement keep track of things such as traffic violations or environmental inspections. If you aren’t on top of your vehicle’s registration, you may end up facing heavy fines and other penalties. A tag and title agency keeps track of all of your vehicle’s information to help ensure you’re up to date with all your registration requirements.
Registration and Insurance
When registering your vehicle in Maryland, you’ll also need to provide proof of insurance. Without the right kind of car insurance, you may not be able to properly register your vehicle. Maryland requires a minimum insurance level of $30,000 for bodily injury per person, $60,000 for bodily injury for two or more people, and $15,000 for property damage. Many insurance companies also provide tag and title services. They can help ensure you meet the minimum requirements so that your registration proceeds quickly and smoothly.
Specialty Tags
Some drivers may need additional registration and tags applied to their vehicles. Motorists with a handicap, for example, will need to go through additional steps to get a handicap parking permit. Your tag and title agency can help you get the necessary paperwork needed to properly register your vehicle.
Renewals
You’ll need to renew your registration every few years to stay up-to-date in the system. If you don’t renew your registration, you could face heavy fines and even license suspension. But remembering to renew your registration and spending time at the MVA can be frustrating and a hassle. If your insurance company provides tag and title services, they can often do most of the leg work for you. This can help save you time and money.
