          Subpart B_Identifying and Registering Motor Vehicles
 
Sec. 102-34.170  Are there special licensing procedures for motor vehicles 
operating in the District of Columbia (DC)?

    Yes. DC Code, section 40-102(d)(2), requires the issuance of license 
plates, without charge, for all motor vehicles owned or leased by the 
Government at the time the motor vehicle is registered or reregistered.
    (a) You must register motor vehicles that are regularly based or 
operated in DC with the DC Department of Transportation. Your 
application to register must include a manufacturer's Certificate of 
Origin, bill of sale, or other document attesting Government ownership. 
Forms for registering motor vehicles are available from the District of 
Columbia, Department of Transportation.
    (b) Motor vehicles owned or leased by the Government and licensed in 
the District of Columbia may have the letter code designation prescribed 
in Sec. 102-34.160 stenciled in the blank space beside the embossed 
numbers. If you add a letter code designation, stencil it on the license 
plate so that the letters resemble the embossed numbers in size and 
color. License plates issued by the District of Columbia without an 
agency letter code designation will usually have the letter code 
designation ``US''.
    (c) Transfer of U.S. Government license plates issued by the 
District of Columbia between your agency's own motor vehicles requires 
prior approval from the District of Columbia, Department of 
Transportation.
    (d) You must have each registered motor vehicle inspected annually 
according to section 40-204 of the District of Columbia Code and 
applicable regulations. The District of Columbia

issues an inspection verification sticker for each motor vehicle that 
passes inspection. Inspections and stickers are free.
    (e) Return damaged or mutilated license plates to the District of 
Columbia, Department of Transportation, for cancellation. Also return 
license plates when you transfer a motor vehicle regularly based or 
operated in the District of Columbia to operation in a field area, 
another agency, or remove the motor vehicle from Government service.
