Leased Vehicles: Title/Registered
Vehicles that are being leased are titled in the name of the lessor. The plate may be issued to either the
lessor or lessee depending on who carries the liability insurance coverage. If the license plate is to be
issued in the name of the lessee, the lessor and lessee must sign an MVR-330 form. The MVR-330 lists the
length of the lease, the owner of the vehicle (lessor), the operator of the vehicle (lessee) and the
certification of liability insurance signed by the lessee.
Vehicles leased for less than one year are subject to a For-Hire license. Vehicles leased by a farmer
and used exclusively for farm use may be issued a farm license plate upon completion of MVR-330 and MVR-9
(Farmer Affidavit).
