RAMSTEIN AIR BASE, Germany --  Many people in the Kaiserslautern Military Community own at least one vehicle. The 86th Vehicle Readiness Squadron offers the following tips for owners.

- Whether you are selling, shipping or renewing your registration, you need to have a completed form 190-1AA for the vehicle inspection.

- If your vehicle failed for improper headlight adjustment, check if the bulb is installed correctly first before adjusting the assembly.

- Keep the Vehicle Mechanical Safety Inspection Record AE Form 190-1H -- don't give it to your mechanic. This form is needed to do a re-inspection of just those items. If we can't find your write-ups in our system, we will need to do a complete inspection again.

- Our safety inspection is good for 30 days granted your registration has not expired.

- When shipping your vehicle, make sure your registration has at least 90 days from the day you are planning to ship it. If not, you will need to pass the safety inspection first.

- Your vehicle will fail the safety inspection if the license plates are not mounted correctly.
