t’s the law! To improve national security, all Army-
owned or commercially-leased (more than 60 days)
nontactical vehicles (NTVs) worldwide must now be
registered in the Federal Motor Vehicle Registration
System (FMVRS) to operate legally.
The registration portion of the law went into effect
1 June 2010. The next step requires these same NTVs
to display expiration dates on their license plates.
The deadline for compliance is 1 Oct 2011. After that
date, drivers of NTVs can be stopped and detained by
law enforcement.
FMVRS was developed by the General Services Administration as a database
of information on all NTVs registered to federal government agencies. This
registration system can be accessed by law enforcement ofFcials at the federal,
state, and local levels through the International Justice and Public Safety Network.
Examples of these NTVs include sedans, carryalls, SUVs, light, medium and
heavy trucks, and cargo and special purpose vehicles.
All Army-owned commercial trailers must now be tagged with single “T” plates
and registered in FMVRS.
Motorcycles or scooters driven off post must now be registered
in FMVRS and display single plates.
