Good lord, this is ridiculous! I'm new to NoVA, and I want to register my car this month. I've done all the inspections, and I'm going to the DMV in the morning, but I'm all in a panic because THIS PAPERWORK IS RIDICULOUS! Why does the state of VA need to know the gross weight and net weight of my vehicle? How many axles do I have?
That and I am freaking out because I can't find my current California registration. I have one that is expired from the prior year, but somehow my current registration is not in my car. HELP.
This stinks. Any advice? I plan on getting there early. I need to get all this stuff done by end of Oct. before my CA tags expire.
As far as axles, unless you have a big rig you have the regular 2 axles. But yeah, you gotta have your Cali registration. You might be able to have them fax a copy.
Note: I used to live in VA Beach and Alexandria, VA so it has been a while since I have dealt with Virginia DMV

Um, good luck. DMV stereotypes were invented in VA. Plus they just half of them down. I tried to update my license online but still haven't been able to get that processed. And this is ON LINE.
I live in Arlington. I realized I was screwed this weekend when I couldn't find my current CA registration, but I went to the DMV anyway. They were surprisingly helpful and although I have to go back-- I still needed to switch over my car insurance to VA-- and the manager on duty gave me his hours and full name and told me to bypass the line and just come see him this week-- it was a good experience. Surprisingly better than Florida and California DMV's... maybe I just got lucky.
