In this article, we\u2019ll review what Maryland vehicle flags are, why they are issued, and how to have them removed.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>What are Maryland Vehicle Flags?<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>A flag on vehicle registration is placed by the MVA (or another government agency authorized to do so) as an official hold on a vehicle record in response to an unresolved issue. This hold temporarily prevents vehicle owners from renewing their registration or transferring their vehicle title.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>What Causes a Registration Flag to Be Placed?<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>The most common reasons Maryland vehicle flags are issued include:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Outstanding fines like unpaid parking tickets, speeding citations, and red-light violations<\/li>\n<li>Auto insurance lapse or questionable coverage<\/li>\n<li>Unpaid toll fees or civil penalties due to the Maryland Transportation Authority<\/li>\n<li>Failure to obtain a required passing emissions test<\/li>\n<li>Any administrative issues such as owed fees or returned checks<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-30153 lazyload\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.etags.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/AdobeStock_2095049777-1-800x446.jpeg\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"446\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/www.etags.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/AdobeStock_2095049777-1-800x446.jpeg 800w, https:\/\/www.etags.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/AdobeStock_2095049777-1-1160x647.jpeg 1160w, https:\/\/www.etags.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/AdobeStock_2095049777-1-1536x857.jpeg 1536w, https:\/\/www.etags.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/AdobeStock_2095049777-1-2048x1142.jpeg 2048w, https:\/\/www.etags.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/AdobeStock_2095049777-1-120x67.jpeg 120w, https:\/\/www.etags.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/AdobeStock_2095049777-1-90x50.jpeg 90w, https:\/\/www.etags.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/AdobeStock_2095049777-1-320x178.jpeg 320w, https:\/\/www.etags.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/AdobeStock_2095049777-1-560x312.jpeg 560w, https:\/\/www.etags.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/AdobeStock_2095049777-1-1920x1071.jpeg 1920w, https:\/\/www.etags.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/AdobeStock_2095049777-1-scaled.jpeg 780w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 800px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 800\/446;\" \/><\/p>\n<h2><strong>How Will I Know if There is a Flag on My Vehicle?<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>The MVA will usually notify vehicle owners when a flag has been placed. Notices are sent out around 30 days after the flag has been issued and around 70 days prior to your registration renewal deadline.<\/p>\n<p>If you think there might be a flag on your registration, you can use the MVA\u2019s online <a href=\"https:\/\/mymva.maryland.gov\/TAP\/IND\/_\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Flag Lookup<\/a> to be sure.<\/p>\n<p>If you are renewing your registration online with eTags and the action is blocked, we can help determine the cause of the flag and help guide you as to how to resolve it. In some cases, such as with an administrative fee issue, we may be able to help facilitate the payment of the fee.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>How Do I Remove a Flag from My Account?<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>The first step is to find out what type of Maryland vehicle flag has been placed on your record, as each MVA flag has a slightly different removal protocol. Please note that some flags will require an additional administrative fee ($30 at the time of publishing) to remove. These include:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Parking tickets<\/li>\n<li>Toll violations<\/li>\n<li>Red-light camera violations<\/li>\n<li>Speed camera violations<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Depending on the type of flag, you may need to provide the following:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Proof of valid auto insurance<\/li>\n<li>Payment of tolls and\/or fines<\/li>\n<li>Proof of a passing emissions test<\/li>\n<li>Fulfillment of outstanding fees due<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Once you\u2019ve identified the type of MVA flag that has been placed on your vehicle, you can resolve the issue accordingly. Remember to keep proof of the resolution. This proof can include receipts, release forms, or insurance documents.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-30155 lazyload\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.etags.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/AdobeStock_471364486-1-800x546.jpeg\" alt=\"Renew Maryland vehicle registration online with eTags\" width=\"800\" height=\"546\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/www.etags.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/AdobeStock_471364486-1-800x546.jpeg 800w, https:\/\/www.etags.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/AdobeStock_471364486-1-1160x792.jpeg 1160w, https:\/\/www.etags.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/AdobeStock_471364486-1-1536x1049.jpeg 1536w, https:\/\/www.etags.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/AdobeStock_471364486-1-2048x1399.jpeg 2048w, https:\/\/www.etags.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/AdobeStock_471364486-1-120x82.jpeg 120w, https:\/\/www.etags.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/AdobeStock_471364486-1-90x61.jpeg 90w, https:\/\/www.etags.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/AdobeStock_471364486-1-320x219.jpeg 320w, https:\/\/www.etags.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/AdobeStock_471364486-1-560x382.jpeg 560w, https:\/\/www.etags.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/AdobeStock_471364486-1-1920x1311.jpeg 1920w, https:\/\/www.etags.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/AdobeStock_471364486-1-scaled.jpeg 780w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 800px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 800\/546;\" \/><\/p>\n<h2><strong>How Long Will it Take for a Flag to Clear After Resolving the Issue?<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>It takes the MVA an average of 3-5 business days to update their system to reflect a resolved flag.
