How Connecticut Registration Works

Vehicles in Connecticut can be registered as passenger use, commercial use, or a combination.

Combo plates allow the owner to use the vehicle for personal and commercial purposes.

The tag fee calculator finds how much plates cost by comparing the vehicle type and weight to the intended use.
