Civilian

Vehicles

Every vehicle you register becomes a real registration in the state system: police can run the plate, medics can find the owner at a crash, and a plate reader will react to what the record says. Vehicles belong to a character, not to you — switch character and you see that person's fleet.

Registering one

REGISTER NEW, then fill in the registration.

Then the insurance block: a Status, an Expires date and the Insurance Company. This is not decoration — an uninsured or expired vehicle sets off an alert when a patrol car scans the plate, and that is a traffic stop waiting to happen.

Get the plate right. It is what everything else keys on: a plate that does not match the car you are driving is a plate nobody can look up.

Your registrations

The vehicles page fans your registration papers out as actual documents. Click one to open it and manage its details, insurance and status.

Reporting a vehicle stolen

Inside a registration, Mark stolen flags the vehicle immediately — you do not have to save the form, and it takes effect the moment you click.

From then on, any patrol car that scans the plate gets a stolen vehicle alert. Once you have it back, the same button reads Back in possession and clears the flag.

A vehicle can also come back as Impounded. That is set by law enforcement, not by you; see your community's impound procedure to get it released.

Deleting

DELETE removes the registration for good — the plate is no longer registered to anyone, and any flag on it disappears with it. Use it for a vehicle you have genuinely got rid of. If the car has simply been taken, report it stolen instead; deleting it removes exactly the alert that would help you get it back.
