Where do you keep your car registration?

[MarsOrBust]

I usually have it in the glove box but from talking to friends it seems I am the only one.
Some keep it in their wallet others hide it in the trunk.

in the glove compartment with the pin to unlock on, for the glove compartment.

In fact I’m gonna add a pin to my glovebox now. Thanks very much for the suggestion.

Copy in the glove box with the address blacked out. Never understood carrying it at all times in a wallet or purse. Also not practical if you have multiple cars.

The refrigerator, of course.

2 punks break-in, Punk 1: Forget the wallet with cash and CCs. Also screw the laptop. JACK POT I found the registration.

Never heard of car thieves breaking into cars to steal the registration.

True and I keep mine in the glove box.

Under the driver visor mirror cover. Don’t look at myself but much rather have quick, unrestricted access in case of a traffic stop or, worst case, an accident which kills the power to the glove box.

Tried to stick a sleeve in the armrest but it kept falling.

What’s the point of hiding the thing? The VIN is publicly visible and easily searchable if a thief wants to find my address plus, in my case, I have a detached garage so homelink isn’t gonna help them.

Make a copy of it and stamp it with a large red “COPY” stamp. Goes in the glovebox with pin code enabled.

Shoved mine in the wheel well. I wonder if it's still in there...

Why would you keep your registration near the car? I assume this is a USA thing.

I don't think I have a copy of mine, that is what the Transport Agency is for.

 

[jeremymc7]

In (most) of the US if you get pulled over they ask for license, insurance, and registration.

Just check the PNO (Pay Nothing Option). You save money and there is no registration to put away anymore! Win-win!

From MN here, and 'registration' is a weird one for me. "License and Registration, Please" is a phrase I've heard all my life, but never have I ever needed to present the vehicle's title, or the paperwork that comes with the registration tabs. The tabs go on the plate, and the paperwork goes into the tax folder in the filing cabinet. While I do not have tremendous amount of experience being in accidents or breaking the law, I've NEVER needed anything other than my license and proof of insurance card.
Same idea with the insurance cards, I can't imagine trying to keep the cards or the registration paper in my wallet. I have 6 vehicles, that would be insane. Insurance cards go in each vehicle's glove box (or in the case of the bike, in the seat.)

If there's an accident serious enough that the power is lost and the glove box won't open, trading insurance information on the spot is the least of my worries.

Just take a pic and keep it in your album as favorite or docs or in your digital wallet in your phone . i do that for my insurance as well. It is easy to exchange show and exchange via txt.

This is what I do also.

Not all states accept it as legal, but my primary interest is to have it available when I want the information. The one time I was stopped by a cop and could only show my copy on my phone I was asked to show a paper copy at a later date. No fines involved

Required by state law, but not all states require it to be kept in the vehicle.

In the USA registration is something you have to re-up every year or two depending on the state. Along with the piece of paper you get a new sticker to put on the license plate so it is obvious if your registration is expired.

We also have a title, this is proof that you own the car; when financing the bank has this; once you pay off the loan you receive the title and best to keep in safety deposit box or home safe.
