Good question! The usage of these white oval decals originated in Europe in the early 20th century. European countries are relatively small and drivers have always frequently crossed from country to country. Moreover, in those days European licence plates all looked confusingly similar, so Europe needed to find an easy way to identify each vehicle’s country of registration. They came up with the idea of making it mandatory to put a white oval-shaped sticker with black country initials on the back of all vehicles. This European custom became an international requirement in many countries after the U.N.’s Geneva Convention on Road Traffic (1949) and Vienna Convention on Road Traffic (1968). It was agreed upon that a distinguishing sign of the country of registration had to be displayed on the rear of the vehicle. It also stipulated that the sign could either be placed separately from the registration plate or could be incorporated into the vehicle’s number plate and if the international registration letter was incorporated into the licence plate, it also had to appear on the front number plate. These days, oval stickers with an international circulation mark are not as common anymore in Europe, since standard E.U. number plates have integrated the country code into a blue strip on the left side of the plate.

This blue section is actually the flag of Europe (a circle of 12 yellow stars on a blue background), with the country code of the member state underneath it. Since only two countries border the United States and the vast majority of Americans, Canadians and Mexicans hire a car instead of bringing their own when they go abroad, there was no need for car ovals at all. This explains why these oval-shaped country stickers have never been subject to any kind of regulation by the American Government. At some point in the early 80s, however, it became trendy for Americans to look European: with the yuppie bimmer craze, it was not uncommon to see BMWs with the German “D” oval sticker (Deutschland) driving on American highways (see picture on the left). Soon, some Americans started putting all kinds of other stickers on their cars in order to boast about what amazing (European) destinations they had been to. White oval bumper stickers gradually became a fad status symbol, so people started making Euro-looking stickers with abbreviations for places in the States.

Common stickers are for instance things like “MV” for Martha’s Vineyard, “CA” for California, “ACK” for Nantucket (which is the airport code) and “OBX” for the Outer Banks of North Carolina. Below is an extensive listing of all independent countries of the world and their international car code. Country Insurance - NM Motor Vehicle Division Insurance Parking Placards The New Mexico MVD contracts with PASCO Inc. using their Validati® application to match auto insurance information from New Mexico insurance companies with vehicles registered with the MVD. PASCO developed a New Mexico Insurance Identification Database (IIDB) at . The IIDB website has information for New Mexico drivers about insurance notification letters and insurance verification. In New Mexico, drivers are expected to operate their motor vehicles with a minimum of liability auto insurance. Minimum auto liability insurance amounts required in New Mexico are: $25,000 for bodily injury to or death of one person, $50,000 for bodily injury to or death of two or more persons, and $10,000 for property damage in any one accident.

Once you have purchased auto insurance for at least the minimum amounts above, ask your insurance company to provide your insurance information to the New Mexico IIDB at: or to call (866) 891-0665. If you receive a Notice of Noncompliance from the MVD, but you have the minimum required liability insurance, you should contact your insurance company immediately. Ask them to provide your insurance information to the IIDB. If your insurance company does not provide your insurance information to the IIDB within 30 days of the date on the Notice of Noncompliance you received, your vehicle(s) registration will be suspended by the MVD. You can call the IIDB yourself and provide the necessary information. Drivers who provide fraudulent proof of insurance documents may be prosecuted according to the State of New Mexico's statutes. Registration of your vehicle(s) may be denied or delayed if the New Mexico MVD Registration file does not show insurance coverage for the vehicle(s). Drivers that do not have minimum liability auto insurance may have their vehicle registration suspended. Forms of Proof of Insurance to take to MVD when registering your vehicle: A current auto insurance card. A copy of your current auto insurance policy.

A letter from your auto insurance company (on company letterhead) that verifies your auto insurance coverage. You must provide any one of the above forms of proof to the MVD before you can register your vehicle(s). Affidavit of Non-use of Vehicle or Out-of-State Insurance (MVD-11268) | Download PDF Financial Responsibility Request for Hearing (MVD-10792) | Download PDF Mandatory Auto Insurance FAQs What is "Mandatory Insurance?" Drivers are required to operate motor vehicles with a minimum of liability insurance. Minimum liability amounts required in New Mexico are: $25,000 for bodily injury or death to one person in any accident, subject to this limit for one person $50,000 for bodily injury to or death of two or more persons in any one accident $10,000 for injury to or destruction of property of others in any one accident Or, if evidence is in the form of a surety bond or a cash deposit, the total amount shall be $60,000 on deposit with the New Mexico State Treasurer. Why isn't my insurance on file? I provided it at the time I registered my vehicle.

With the development and implementation of the New Mexico Insurance Identification Database (IIDB), the State no longer relies upon insurance information it may have collected at the time of vehicle registration. Your insurance company must report your insurance information electronically for your vehicle to be identified as insured on the IIDB. Once reported, your vehicle's registration should be updated the following business day. What happens if I don't get insurance? Vehicles that do not have the minimum liability insurance are subject to having that vehicle registration suspended. Registration of your vehicle(s) may be denied or delayed until insurance is obtained. The New Mexico Mandatory Financial Responsibility Act states that an owner of an uninsured vehicle must return the vehicle registration and the license plate to the MVD within ten days of receiving the Notice of Suspension of Registration letter. If the owner does not do so, the owner will be subject to the penalties prescribed by law, including criminal penalties. Why did I receive a notice that my registration was suspended? The New Mexico Insurance Identification Database (IIDB) identified your vehicle as not having insurance through a New Mexico licensed insurance company.

You were sent a Verification of Mandatory Automobile Insurance letter 30 days before you received the Notice of Suspension of Registration, advising you of this fact and requesting you to work with your insurance agent or company to provide the IIDB with the needed proof of insurance. You may not show as insured on the IIDB for a number of reasons, such as: the vehicle does not have insurance coverage; the vehicle is insured by an insurance company not licensed to do business in the State of New Mexico; the insurance company has not properly reported insurance coverage for the vehicle; or the vehicle identification number (VIN) may be incorrect on the MVD’s records. I have automobile insurance and received a Verification of Mandatory Automobile Insurance letter by mistake. What do I need to do? If you currently have insurance on the vehicle(s) listed on the Verification of Mandatory Automobile Insurance letter, you should: Contact your insurance company to make sure that the information on your insurance policy matches the information listed on your vehicle(s) registration. Make sure that your vehicle is covered by a New Mexico policy. If your vehicle is covered by a fleet or commercial policy that is not vehicle specific, then you will need to contact your insurance company.

Give them the name that is listed on the letter you received from the New Mexico Insurance Identification Database (IIDB) and the vehicle information. Ask them to contact the IIDB so the vehicle will be listed as insured under a commercial policy. How can I reinstate my vehicle registration? Obtain adequate insurance and have your insurance agent update your insurance information on the New Mexico Insurance Identification Database (IIDB) web site or contact the IIDB Call Center toll free (866) 891-0665 for more information. After proof of insurance has been received by the IIDB, your vehicle registration should be eligible for reinstatement the following business day. The reinstatement fee for a suspended registration is $30.00. When I provide proof of insurance, when will my registration be reinstated? After proof of insurance has been received electronically by the New Mexico Insurance Identification Database, your vehicle registration should be eligible for reinstatement the following business day. Please wait a minimum of 24 hours from when your insurance agent updates the database, before going to a MVD Field Office to reinstate your vehicle registration. The reinstatement fee for a suspended registration is $30.00. I don't have automobile insurance.

What do I need to do? You must obtain automobile liability insurance from an insurance company that is licensed to do business in the State of New Mexico.

If the VIN on the insurance policy does not match the VIN on the vehicle, you will need to contact your insurance company and give them the correct VIN to update their records. The insurance company then may provide temporary proof of insurance through the web site and should report the correct policy information electronically to the New Mexico Insurance Identification Database.

If the VIN on your vehicle is different from what is on your registration, then you will need to have the title and registration corrected.

EMNRD State Parks Division Fire Restrictions New Mexico Legal Requirements for Vessel Registration After buying a vessel, there are legal requirements to be met depending on it's length or it's type and size before the vessel can be operated on New Mexico waters. Failure to have a boat properly titled and /or registered including carrying the registration card and displaying the registration number and validation decal can result in law enforcement or refusal to be allowed on the water. Those initial legal requirements for what most people call the vessel registration process actually consist of separate parts called titling registering , numbering and paying the excise tax . When purchasing a new or used boat from a dealer, the dealer is responsible for collecting the excise tax from you and generally can arrange a vessel safety inspection, and title, register your boat for you. Most charge a small fee for this service. When purchasing a boat from a private individual or from out of state, you are responsible for reporting the vessel actual sale price for paying the Excise Tax (evasion of the tax by under-reporting the sale price and falsifying bills of sale and registration records does subject one to criminal prosecution in New Mexico) and for Titling and Registering your Boat.

It's a good idea to make your purchase only after having confirmed the Hull Identification Number and Engine Serial Number does not show up on any stolen vessel lists with your local law enforcement agency. Pay attention to getting legal requirements done promptly. Excise Tax penalties of 50% of the tax due are assessed if application for title is not made within 30 days of the sale. Also make sure the boat trailer is priced separately on the Bill of Sale otherwise you will pay Excise Tax on the entire sale. Boat Trailers also have Legal Requirements . Other vessel legal requirements include the need to know the New Mexico Boating Laws (Statutes) and Operation and Safety Rules (Regulations) including Boating Under the Influence (BUI) and Boating While Intoxicated (BWI), and to meet the Mandatory Equipment Requirements. (See links to the right side of this page) The easiest way to get help in interpreting both the Laws and Regulations is to take a New Mexico approved Boater Safety Course . Operators in New Mexico as in many other states do not have to have a New Mexico boating "license" in order to complete their vessel registration.

However, on January 1, 2007, a mandatory boater education law went into effect which has a Boater Education Card Requirement for many new operators. It requires any operator born on or after January 1, 1989 to show a Boater Education Card from a New Mexico approved boating education course or to have successfully completed a New Mexico approved boating proficiency exam when operating on New Mexico waters. (Boater Education Card FAQ's) Exceptions for Documented or Out of State Vessels Your vessel may be exempted from a number of requirements if it displaces more than 5 tons of water (generally over 26' in length) and is Documented by the U.S. Coast Guard. Documented vessels for example, are not titled. By Coast Guard regulations, any commercial use boat over five (5) tons must be Documented.

(Many owners of larger, more expensive non-commercial use recreational use only boats elect to Document their boat because this gives ownership and lien recording that is not available in the state's registration program.) Another exception is if you bring in your vessel coming from another state with the vessel's current registration and numbers and you limit your stay with your boat in New Mexico for no more than 90 consecutive days (90 day reciprocity) then you don't have to re-register your vessel. Note: this reciprocity varies from state to state. Documented vessels are only required to be registered in some states, (not applicable in New Mexico) but not titled. An Abstract of Title is held by the U.S. Coast Guard in lieu of a state title. Once a vessel loses it's Documentation, usually by missing the refiling deadline, a state title must be applied for within 30 days. Titling Your Vessel The Title is your legal document of ownership. It specifically identifies the hull of a specific vessel. The Title allows for the sale of the vessel by the holder of the Title. It is also the legal document leined by a bank or other lending agency when you are purchasing a vessel on installment (borrowed money).

Cost of a New Mexico issued Title is $10.00 in 2009. Titling of Motorboats or Sailboats. Every owner of a motorboat or sailboat 10 feet in length or longer is required to have their boat titled. MVD may require motorboats, sailboats, PWC's or anything else that has a motor on the water and floats to be titled as a requirement of the registration process. A state title must be applied for within 30 days of a purchase or once a vessel loses it's Federal Documentation. Titling of Canoes, Rowboats, Dories, Rafts, Kayaks or other Paddlecraft. It is recommended that every vessel get a title such as canoes, rowboats, rafts and other paddlecraft. It makes it easier for you to show or transfer ownership or make an insurance claim. It is however for these vessels only an option, it is not required by law as long as they do not have a motor. Once a vessel like a canoe, rowboat, or other paddlecraft is accessorized with an electric trolling motor or a sail, it must be both titled and registered.

Remember, in case of a theft, a vessel that has never been titled is so much easier to steal. Last, if you take your paddlecraft to use in another state it may be required to have title, numbers, and a current registration in order to be allowed on that state's waters. Titling of Float Tubes in New Mexico. These devices propelled by a set of flippers are not registered.However, just like any other canoe, rowboat or other paddlecraft, they are on the water and as a type of raft device there is the requirement that lifejackets must be worn at all times on all bodies of water statewide and other required equipment must be followed. Titling and Excise Tax is handled through the New Mexico Motor Vehicle Department. Call your local office and make sure a person who can handle boat titling and registrations will be there. Some are there only on certain dates and hours. Registration of Your Vessel in New Mexico The registering of your vessel is the legal process by which you obtain entry into the states vessel identification system and legal use of the vessel on the waters of this state and elsewhere. No unregistered vessel that is required to have registration may be operated on any of the waters of the state. Registration is required for.....

Every vessel propelled by machinery, whether or not machinery is the principal source of propulsion (as in a sailboat). Motorboats powered by any source including Personal Watercraft must be registered. Sailboards and windsurf boards are exempt as are any Documented boats. Every owner of a motorboat or sailboat 10 feet long or longer must make sure ...... Their boat is Titled, Registered, Properly Numbered and the Boat Excise Tax paid. Registration of rafts, kayaks, canoes or other paddlecraft If you have a raft or kayak or canoe or other paddlecraft they are exempt from titling and or registration except if motorized or with a sail. Once any sail or motor is placed on it, (whether electric or fuel powered), then the over 10' raft, kayak or canoe or other paddlecraft must be both titled, and registered. If the craft is under 10' then only numbering (registration) is required. Paddlecraft are required in other states to be titled, registered and properly numbered but it is available as an option here in New Mexico as a convenience for those that anticipate traveling to those states and don't want to be stopped by the boating law enforcement officers in those states.

Alaska, Illinois, Ohio, Oklahoma, Iowa, Minnesota, and Pennsylvania currently require canoe and kayak owners to register or pay special taxes on their boats. Connecticut, Oregon, Washington, Maine, and Montana were all considering new registration requirements. If you have a trailer for your paddlecraft, a trailer registration is required.

The most common reason is that the information listed on your insurance policy does not match the information listed on your vehicle(s) registration. Another possibility is that the insurance policy that the vehicle is covered by is not a New Mexico policy and therefore is not being reported by the insurance company. Finally the vehicle(s) may be covered by a fleet or commercial policy, if that is the case then those policies do not report all of the vehicles covered under them.

If the VIN on the insurance policy is wrong: If the VIN on the insurance policy does not match the VIN on the vehicle then you will need to contact your insurance agent and give them the correct VIN to update their records. The insurance agent then may provide temporary proof of insurance through the website and should report the correct policy info electronically to the IIDB. If the VIN on the registration is wrong: If the VIN on your vehicle is different than what is on your registration then you will need to have the title and registration corrected.
