Virginia State Laws apply on Dahlgren military installation. The
law requires that children under 4 years or less than 36 inches tall must be
secured in a safety seat and children 4-16 years of age must be secured in a
safety belt. On base, ALL vehicle occupants must wear safety
belts.
Vehicle Registration Procedures: The term
vehicle includes motorcycles, automobiles, trailers, vans, and boats regularly
parked or garaged overnight in Virginia. A valid Dept of Defense decal is the
required identification for vehicles owned or leased by military, tenant,
civilian and contractor personnel. Requirements for registration
are: Valid State Operator's license, Valid State Vehicle
Registration, and Proof of Insurance.
Motorcyclists will be issued a
90-day temporary registration to allow time to complete a motorcycle safety
course. Once completed, proof of completion must be presented at the
Pass and ID Office.
Resident Stickers are available for all military
personnel residing on station. This official base resident sticker
negates the requirement to obtain a King George County decal for privately owned
vehicles.
Bicycle Registration: Bicycles should be registered
at the Pass and ID Office during normal office hours. All persons
riding a bicycle must wear an approved helmet. Note - Bicycles, Roller Skates,
Roller Blades and Skateboards operated on base roads will comply with the same
rules as motor vehicles or motorcycles. Owners may register their
bicycles at the Pass and Identification Office (Bldg 195) and be issued a decal
to facilitate recovery of the bicycle in the event it is stolen. This
office can provide you more information on safety measures for bikes,
skateboards and roller blades.

vehicle regulations, contact the Base Pass and ID Office.
