Where do you keep your car registration?

AVGWarhawk · 02-11-11, 10:44 PM

Mine is safely tucked away inside the manual that comes with each of my vehicles. The insurance card and last emissions check paper is also found there. These are in the glove compartment. As far as coming to my house because they saw my address on a registration seems a bit stupid. Anyone could go to the phonebook, internet or just drive on by your house casing the place. I do not think a registration will spurn a car thief into become a home invasion professional. He is busy making a few drug deals , joy riding and pimping in your vehicle. Then dump it somewhere 6 miles from your address.

I also don't currently own a car, but in the past I've always kept everything in the glove box and never thought about it. I kind of like AVG's idea, though.

Connecticut requires the registration to be attached to the windshield in sticker form.
Both Volkswagens I cart around in here have them.

Glove Box, in a map where the manual and the rest of the car's paperwork is.

Yeah we have that here in Australia too. If I'm thinking of the right thing

In my car, in the insurance and manual folder.
I'd prefer to carry it around wth me, but we share the car with my father so I have to leave it in the car

Texas uses stickers, so I have no idea where my paperwork is. It's probably around here somewhere. Not that it matters, as my registration is almost two years out-of-date.

The way I see it, I registered my car when I bought it. They know who it belongs to. Purpose of registration: fulfilled. Unless of course it isn't registration at all, but an annual vehicle tax, in which case I refuse to pay because they don't have the goddamn common courtesy to refer to it as such. Even if they did, I strongly disapprove of the way TXDOT is spending the money, as does the state legislature.
