Sec. 634.20  Registration requirements.

    Systems for registration of POVs on military installations within 
the United States or its territories and in overseas areas will include 
the requirements specified below (Registration in overseas commands may 
be modified in accordance with international agreements or military 
necessity.)
    (a) Possession of a valid State, overseas command, host nation, or 
international driver's license (as applicable), supported by DD Form 2 
(U.S. Armed Forces Retired Identification Card), or other appropriate 
identification for DOD civilians.
    (b) Possession of a certificate of State registration as required by 
the state in which the vehicle is registered.
    (c) Continuing compliance with the minimum requirements of the 
automobile insurance laws or regulations of the State or host nation. In 
overseas commands where host nation laws do not require minimum personal 
injury and property damage liability insurance, the major overseas 
commander may set reasonable liability insurance requirements for 
registration and operation of POVs within the confines of military 
installations and areas. Prior to implementation, insurance requirements 
in host nations should be formally coordinated with the appropriate host 
nation agency.
    (d) Satisfactory completion of safety and mechanical vehicle 
inspection by State or jurisdiction in which the vehicle is licensed or 
located. If neither State nor local jurisdiction requires a periodic 
safety inspection, installation commanders may require and conduct an 
annual POV safety inspection; however, inspection facilities must be 
reasonably accessible to those requiring use. Inspections will meet 
minimum standards established by the National Highway Traffic Safety 
Administration (NHTSA) in Secs. 570.1 through 570.10, part 570, chapter 
V, title 49, Code of Federal Regulations (CFR). Lights, turn signals, 
brake lights, horn, and wipers should be included in the inspection.
    (e) Vehicles with elevated rear ends are unsafe and will be denied 
registration on Army, DLA, and Marine Corps installations. The CFR 
(Sec. 570.8 (Suspension Systems), part 570, chapter V, title 49) states 
that springs should not be extended above the vehicle manufacturer's 
design height.
