    Massachusetts Registry of Motor Vehicles on Washington Street in Boston's Chinatown In the United States of America, a department of motor vehicles (DMV) is a state-level government agency that administers vehicle registration and driver licensing. Similar departments exist in Canada. The name "DMV" is not used in every state or province, nor are the traditional DMV functions handled by a single agency in every state, but the generic term is universally understood, particularly in the context of driver's license issuance and renewal.

    The U.S. state of Alabama has issued license plates for motorized vehicles operated on state highways since 1911.

Beginning in 1917 the issue year was stamped onto the plate, and in 1919 the size of the plates was increased to 6" x 15".
