Can I register online?

Several states only accept original paper documents obtained from the DMV: California, Maine, Mississippi, New Hampshire, New Jersey, Pennsylvania.
​
What is vehicle ad valorem?

It's an additional registration fee charged by 27 states, technically a value-based property tax, but often disclosed as a plate fee, license fee, or mill rate.

What is an MSO versus an MCO?
