Guide to Securing Commercial Registration for Your New Suburban Limousine

Securing commercial registration for your new suburban limousine involves several key steps. This guide will help you navigate the process efficiently.

Step 1: Complete the Report of Sale (RS)

• Select "Yes for Hire": When filling out the Report of Sale, ensure that you mark "Yes for hire." This indicates that your vehicle is intended for commercial use.
• Use LM Body Type Model: Confirm that your vehicle is classified under the LM body type model, which is essential for commercial registration.
• List Unladen Weight: You must include the unladen weight on the report. If this weight exceeds 8000 lbs, a weight certification will be necessary; however, it’s rare for LM models to surpass this limit.

Step 2: Gather Required Documentation

The following documents are crucial when applying for commercial plates:

• Surrender Auto Plates: Ensure you have any previous auto plates surrendered as part of your application process.
• REG 590 Form: Although not required if you're registering a standard new vehicle, it's good practice to prepare this form in case it becomes relevant during processing.
• Weight Certificate:
If applicable based on unladen weight requirements.
