How to Register Vehicles in FiveM CAD System

Guide to vehicle registration in FiveM CAD system. Registration, plates, insurance, and DMV operations.

Vehicle Registration Process

Vehicle registration in CDE CAD creates a database record linking a vehicle to its owner. Civilians can register vehicles through the civilian portal, or DMV staff can process registrations through the DMV bureau. Each registration records the vehicle make, model, year, color, plate number, and registered owner.

Using the Civilian Portal

Characters can register their own vehicles through the civilian portal. Navigate to the Vehicles section and click Register Vehicle. Enter the vehicle details and select which character will be the registered owner. The system generates a unique plate number or allows custom plates depending on your community settings.

DMV Bureau Operations

Staff assigned to the DMV department can process registrations, renewals, and transfers for community members. The DMV bureau provides tools for managing all vehicle-related operations including title transfers, registration renewals, and plate replacements. DMV staff can also flag vehicles as stolen or impounded.

Vehicle Database for Officers

Registered vehicles appear in the MDT lookup system. When officers run a plate, they see the registration status, owner information, any flags or alerts, and insurance status. Expired registrations, stolen vehicle flags, and BOLO matches are highlighted prominently to alert officers during lookups.

Managing Vehicle Records

Administrators can manage all vehicle records through the admin panel. Bulk import vehicles, clean up duplicate records, and configure vehicle classes. The vehicle database integrates with the citation system so officers can issue registration-related violations directly from the MDT.
