We all agree the DMV is a place of suffering and pain with the most soulless unhelpful husks of "humans", but why is the DMV like this? (lemmy.ml)

You could have a plate and registration without annual registration.

In the UK you have to tell the DVLA when you sell or buy a car so they can keep ownership records - this is useful because when you get caught speeding by a camera (for example) the owner is legally responsible and can be found. This doesn't need annual updates, though we pay car tax annually so we're unlikely to forget to update the DVLA if for example you move house.

Often the registration fees are used for road maintenance.
