India
Registration of vehicles in India is done by the local RTO of that state. Commercial vehicles registered in one state cannot enter another state without a permit, which usually costs a lot. Passenger vehicles registered in one state, are allowed to pass through other state, but are not allowed to stay in another state for longer than 30 days.
United States
Vehicle registration in the United States is managed by each state's department of motor vehicles (DMV) or another agency if one does not exist (e.g., Texas Department of Transportation).
Passenger and commercial vehicles must be registered as a condition of use on a public road. Vehicles not used on public roads, such as tractors or vehicles whose use is limited to private property, are not always required to be registered.
Vehicle registration laws vary from state-to-state.
There are different types of vehicle registration including: Antique, Combo, Apportioned, Commercial, and SUB.
United Kingdom
Vehicle registrations in the United Kingdom are entered into a vehicle register.
Non-regulatory registration
Vehicles may also be registered with property owners or managers to gain benefits. For example, it is customary for universities to require registration of a vehicle with the university in exchange for parking privileges.
