The Arkansas Office of Motor Vehicles issues registrations and titles for all motor vehicles, including motor homes and RVs.

You have a 30-day grace period after you buy a motor home before you must register with the OMV.

Before You Register

Purchase insurance for your motor home or RV immediately; Arkansas requires a minimum of liability coverage. Proof of insurance is required during the registration process.

You are also responsible for property tax on your new, used, or leased vehicle. Each county in Arkansas collects a personal property tax based on the assessment of your vehicle.

Title Application

To apply for a certificate of title, apply at your local Office of Motor Vehicles with the following:

• Bill of Sale.

• Original title signed over to you, if vehicle is used.

• Manufacturer's Certificate of Origin, if vehicle is new.

• Title application form

• Paid property tax receipt.

• Appropriate registration fees and required sales tax (6-7% of purchase price, depending on county where you live).

License Plates

The OMV offers many options for license plates.

Registration Renewals

You must renew your registration and tags each year. Tag renewals are very convenient. Complete the entire process online, at participating Wal-Mart Stores or through the mail:

• Department of Finance & Administration

• Office of Motor Vehicle

• P.O. Box 3153

• Little Rock, AR 77203-3153

To use the online system, your liability insurance and county property taxes must be current.

The convenient Arkansas Star registration renewal system is available 24 hours a day.
