On post registration…
It is mandatory that all Fort Lee personnel register their privately owned vehicles (POVs) and obtain a DoD Vehicle Registration Decal. This includes civilians, active military, retired personnel and DoD contractors. To obtain a DoD decal for persons in-processing you must first know your assigned unit.
Once you have obtained unit information you can then register your vehicle at the Vehicle Registration office in the Soldier Support Center Bldg 3400 at 16th St. & B Ave. Persons must have a valid driver's license, current vehicle registration, proof of insurance and an identification card or proof of military affiliation.
If you are registering a vehicle registered in another person's name (other than spouse), you must present a notarized statement or power of attorney, stating that you are authorized use of the vehicle. It must contain the period of authorized usage and a description of the vehicle including the VIN number, make, model and license plate Number/State.
Military, family members, DA civilians and retirees may walk in with the pre-printed Fort Lee Form 437 in order to expedite vehicle renewal/registration. This service will provide DOD decals or new vehicle registration.
