The Milan DMV has various powers granted to it by the state government, whether by precedent or by law. These include its ability to establish policies and procedures for obtaining a driver's license or registering a vehicle, as well as its power to enforce these regulations through inspections, audits, and penalties for noncompliance. The Milan DMV also has the authority to suspend or revoke a driver's license for a variety of reasons, such as driving under the influence or reckless driving. In addition to its regulatory authority, the Milan DMV may also work with law enforcement agencies to investigate and prosecute cases of motor vehicle-related crimes, such as car theft or insurance fraud. | |||
As Milan does not have a standalone Department of Insurance, the responsibility is actually held by the DMV. The Milan Insurance Commissioner operates within the purview and authority of the DMV. Overall, the DMV's authority is crucial to ensuring that Milan's roads are safe and that drivers are properly licensed and insured. | |||

Milan has gone through a few different iterations of license plates since their introduction in 1914. Its current issue license plate is issued with the serial format ABC1234 and features a gradient light blue to dark blue base. The serial, the state name, and motto 'A Comunidade Crioula' is screened in a dark blue. Milan issues a single license plate (formatted size 15cm x 30.5cm) to all drivers, mounted on the rear of the vehicle (except for semi trucks, which mount their plates on the front of the vehicle). Milan's license plates require registration every 1-3 years, depending on the choice of the owner, and feature a sticker in the upper right corner that shows this expiration date, as well as the parish of origin. | |||

Alongside the state's standard issue, there are also alternate plate options. These include the base of the previous plates issued by the state, as well as completely redesigned versions of the licenseplate that may feature imagery representing the state's schools, tourism, industries, and cultural symbols, among others. | |||

Milan's inspection sticker is an important part of its vehicle inspection program. The sticker is a small, square label that is about half the width of a credit card. It is designed to be placed on the left-hand interior side of the windshield, adjacent to the A-frame of the vehicle, and is required to be visible to law enforcement officers. The inspection sticker contains crucial information about the vehicle, including the date of expiry for the vehicle's inspection, the license plate serial, the parish of record, and the parish record certification number. This information is used to ensure that the vehicle is in compliance with all of the state's regulations and is safe for operation on the roads. The sticker's placement is essential for law enforcement officers to easily verify that the vehicle has been inspected and has passed all the required tests. The date of expiry helps ensure that all vehicles are regularly inspected and that they meet the required standards for safety and emissions. | |||
