Registering a Sprinter Van as a Commercial Vehicle

The registration process for a Sprinter van as a commercial vehicle can vary depending on whether the van has seats or not. Here are some important points to consider:

Van without Seats

If the Sprinter van does not have seats, it must be registered as a commercial vehicle.

Van with Seats (Up to 16 People)

If the Sprinter van has seats and can accommodate up to 16 people, it can be registered as an automobile instead of a commercial vehicle.

Local Regulations

It is crucial to check with your local Department of Motor Vehicles for specific regulations and requirements regarding registering a Sprinter van as a commercial vehicle in your area.

Conversion from Commercial to Automobile

If you need to convert your Sprinter van from commercial registration to automobile registration, you can submit it to SPU for the necessary conversion process.

Leased Mercedes Sprinter Van Registration

You have the option to keep your commercial plates when registering a leased Mercedes Sprinter van. This allows you to maintain consistent branding and identification for your business fleet vehicles.

Commercial Plates Benefits

Commercial customers often prefer using commercial plates for their Sprinter vans. These specialized plates help identify the vehicle as part of a commercial fleet and may come with additional benefits or requirements specific to business use.

Dual-Use Vans

Sprinter vans that have seats in the back can serve both commercial and personal purposes. This flexibility allows them to function as passenger vehicles when needed while still being classified primarily as commercial vehicles.
