Does Alabama law require the vehicle operator to retain registration documents within the vehicle for possible presentation to law enforcement?
Yes. Act 96-733, (Code Section 40-12-260) effective January 1, 1998, provides that the vehicle owner shall retain, within the vehicle, the Motor Vehicle Registration Tag and Tax Receipt for possible presentation to law enforcement. The fine, for failure to provide evidence of current registration to a law enforcement officer, upon conviction is a minimum of $50. If someone trades vehicles, he/she is required to retain within the vehicle, prior to transferring the registration, a copy of the title application, or the bill of sale (or a temporary tag if obtained).
