Maryland JDM registration FAQ

Vehicles 25 years or older are exempt from federal NHTSA and EPA import standards, and Maryland allows right-hand-drive imports. The state requires a safety inspection at initial registration that covers brakes, suspension, steering, lights, tires, exhaust, and body.
Maryland is one of the more involved states for JDM registration. Bring your federal import paperwork (CBP Form 7501, EPA Form 3520-1, DOT Form HS-7), the Japanese export certificate with a notarized translation, your bill of sale, and proof of insurance meeting Maryland's 30/60/15 minimums to an MVA office. A VIN verification at the MVA or an authorized station is required, plus the initial safety inspection. Short VINs may trigger additional review.
Maryland kei truck titling outcomes can vary, and the state's mandatory safety inspection adds a step that can be friction for kei buyers. Confirm the current titling status with the MVA or your dealer before purchasing.
Emissions testing is required statewide for vehicles under 25 years old at VEIP stations. Vehicles over 25 years old are exempt — which covers the majority of properly imported JDM vehicles.
Yes — Maryland dealers ship nationwide and provide the bill of sale and federal import documents your home state's DMV will need. Out-of-state buyers often skip Maryland's safety-inspection step entirely by registering directly in their home state.
