Is the Big Green Book Issued by the DMV?

[StMatteo]

The Big Green Book is issued by the DMV. Introduction to the Big Green Book: The so-called Big Green Book is the vehicle registration certificate, equivalent to a person's household registration booklet. It records the registration date and manufacturing date, is kept by the vehicle owner, and is generally not used daily or carried with the vehicle. However, it is essential for vehicle transfers. If the vehicle is mortgaged for a loan, the lending company usually retains the Big Green Book. Losing the Big Green Book means the owner only has the right to use the vehicle but not the right to sell it. Prerequisites for obtaining the Big Green Book: You can only get the Big Green Book when purchasing a vehicle outright. If you buy a car with a loan, the Big Green Book must be mortgaged to the lending bank or company. After the loan is fully repaid, the owner must take the Big Green Book to the DMV to release the mortgage; otherwise, the ownership of the vehicle remains with the lending company. Process of obtaining the Big Green Book from the DMV: It is issued to the owner on the spot by DMV staff at the inspection site during new vehicle registration.
