Some states have attempted to lessen the congestion at its Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) offices by issuing licenses to private companies to perform some of the duties performed by the state. These tag companies charge a fee for providing services such as issuing vehicle registrations, titles and license plates. Each state has its own procedures, regulations and fees.
Visit the website for your state's Motor Vehicle Division. Go to the link for tag agents, if they are authorized to operate in that state. The link may appear as "Vehicle License Agent" or "Vehicle Title Agent" or with similar wording. Review the requirements for becoming a licensed vehicle tag agent in your state.
Fill out the online application. Submit the application along with the filing fees. You can also download the application and mail it along with the filing fees to the address indicated on the form.
Purchase a bond from your insurance agent in the minimum amount required by your state.
Submit an original copy of your bond along with any additional information and fees to the address indicated on your application. The state will issue your license after your documents are processed.
