The requirements for vehicles to access and operate aboard the Combat Center are independent of an individual's personal approval to access the installation.
General Requirements - When applicable, persons requesting to register a motor vehicle aboard the Combat center are required to present the following valid information:
License
A state driver’s license or a state license with endorsement if registering a motorcycle.
Registration
Registration card (if issued by state/territory) or sticker observed on vehicle if registration document was not issued. If your state/territory issues proof of registration it must be presented.
Insurance
To register a vehicle, the insurance policy must include the vehicle as a listed item. The driver of the vehicle must also be listed on the policy along with the vehicle or must have their own separate coverage after 60 days of continuous use. In addition, to show proof of insurance, you can either be the named policyholder of the insurance policy or be listed on the declaration page of another person's policy as a driver of the vehicle you want to register. This is a requirement to ensure that all vehicles on the road are covered by adequate insurance in case of accidents or other incidents.

Rental Vehicles
You must provide the rental agreement in either the driver’s or the organization’s name.
