What's Included
This vehicle registration system includes everything you need to manage vehicle ownership on your server. Players interact with DMV locations to register new vehicles, transfer ownership, update registration details, and obtain official license plates.

Administrators get powerful tools to manage registrations, track stolen vehicles, and enforce registration requirements across your server.

How It Works
- Purchase Vehicle - Player buys a vehicle from a dealership or private sale
- Visit DMV - Player goes to a DMV location to begin registration process
- Submit Application - Player fills out registration form with vehicle details and personal information
- Pay Fees - Registration fee is charged based on vehicle type and configuration
- Receive Plate - System generates unique license plate and assigns it to the vehicle
- Drive Legal - Vehicle is now properly registered and traceable in the database
- Renewals - Players receive reminders to renew registration before expiration
- Transfers - Ownership can be transferred through the DMV with proper documentation
Installation

- Import the SQL file to create the vehicle registration database tables
- Configure DMV locations, registration fees, and plate formats in config.lua
- Set up permissions for police access to registration database
- Integrate with your existing vehicle shop scripts (optional)
- Add the resource to your server.cfg and restart the server
- Test the registration process with a new vehicle purchase
Framework Compatibility
- ✅ ESX Legacy - Full support for ESX Framework with society integration for registration fees
- ✅ QBCore - Complete QBCore compatibility with job integration and database synchronization
- ✅ Standalone - Can be configured to work independently with custom frameworks
- ✅ Custom Frameworks - Adaptable code structure for integration with proprietary systems
Configuration Options
The script offers extensive configuration to match your server's needs. Set custom registration fees based on vehicle class (economy, luxury, sports, commercial). Define multiple DMV locations across the map or use a single central office. Choose between random plate generation or sequential numbering systems. Enable or disable registration expiration with customizable renewal periods. Configure which jobs can access the registration database (police, DMV workers, admins). Set up automatic notifications for renewals, transfers, and violations. Customize plate formats with region codes, special characters, and length requirements.
What Makes It Stand Out
Unlike basic vehicle ownership scripts, this registration system adds a complete layer of bureaucratic realism that serious roleplay communities demand. The ownership history tracking means every vehicle has a verifiable paper trail, making investigations and ownership disputes much more engaging. Police officers can run plates during traffic stops and instantly see if a vehicle is stolen, unregistered, or expired. The transfer system prevents ownership conflicts by requiring both parties to complete the transaction through official channels. The configurable plate formats let you create region-specific designs that add authenticity to your server's setting, whether you're replicating California, New York, or a fictional location.

Gameplay Impact
This registration system adds meaningful depth to vehicle ownership on your server. New players learn they can't just steal any car - properly registered vehicles are tracked and ownership is enforced. Criminal players must consider the risks of driving stolen vehicles with traceable plates. Law enforcement gets powerful tools for traffic enforcement and vehicle investigations. The registration fees create a steady money sink that helps balance your server economy. DMV workers can have an actual job processing registrations and managing the database. The system encourages proper roleplay around vehicle purchases, sales, and ownership transfers rather than casual vehicle swapping.
