What is vehicle licensing?

Vehicle licensing is the process of registering a vehicle with the relevant government authority, which allows it to be legally driven on public roads. This process typically involves submitting ownership documents, providing proof of insurance, and paying applicable fees. Once licensed, the vehicle is issued with a license plate and registration certificate, which must be kept up to date. Regular renewals are usually required to maintain the vehicle's legal status.
