Does your car registration get mailed to you

In the United States, the process of receiving a car registration varies from state to state. Here's a general breakdown:

  1. Some states mail the registration: In many states, the Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) or equivalent agency will mail the car registration to the registered owner's address on file. This is usually the case for states like California, Florida, and Texas.
  2. Some states require pickup: In other states, like New York, New Jersey, and Pennsylvania, you may need to visit a DMV office or authorized agent to pick up your registration. You may receive a confirmation letter or email with instructions on how to obtain your registration.
  3. Online registration and printing: Some states, like Arizona, Colorado, and Oregon, offer online registration services. You can complete the registration process online, pay the fees, and print your registration certificate immediately.
  4. Third-party registration services: In some cases, a third-party company may be authorized to handle car registration services on behalf of the state. These companies may mail or email the registration to you after processing your application.
