Before you register

A few things to know

Secure payment

Our secure donation processor protects your data. Your personal information is never shared, and all registration donations are made with an accepted debit or credit card at the time of registration.

Use a PC to register

While registration is possible on a phone, we highly recommend using a PC. Take a moment to compose your vehicle description beforehand, it is far easier to copy and paste.

Watch for confirmation

The system emails a confirmation after payment. If it doesn't arrive, check your spam or junk folder. Your confirmation lists your vehicle details, please review them for accuracy.

Vehicle description

Compose it here first

Practice entering your vehicle description below, then copy and paste it into the actual registration. There is a 475-character maximum.

Focus on grammar and typos. Don't use ALL CAPS except where applicable, and don't add blank lines between sentences, a small gap is inserted automatically between paragraphs.

0 / 475 characters

Tip: a printed sign only has room for about 12 to 14 lines of text. Remember to copy your text so you can paste it into the Vehicle Description field during registration. Don't include your Displayed By, Location, or Car Club as part of the description.
