Registration
Registering Vehicles on Base
Privately Owned Vehicles (POVs) are no longer registered on Fort Rucker. Personnel entering Fort Rucker must present a current Department of Defense identification card (DoD civilians and contractors, military personnel and family members etc.). Passengers riding with the DoD Identification Card holder must also have some form of identification. Personnel who do not possess a DoD Identification Card will be considered "visitors" for entry control purposes and must access the installation using the visitor lane at each installation gate. All visitors must have in their possession their driver's license, proof of insurance and state registration or rental agreement for the vehicle they are driving as required by Alabama law and DoD regulations to drive on Fort Rucker.
Automobile Insurance
Any person who operates a POV on Fort Rucker is responsible for carrying and producing proof of current motor vehicle insurance for he entire period during which the vehicle is to be operated on Fort Rucker, regardless which state the vehicle is registered in. Operators of motorcycles whose state of registration does not require insurance on motorcycles must obtain at least the minimum required insurance for the state of Alabama.
For minimum insurance requirements, check with the Alabama DMV office and the requirements can change. Alabama State law requires automobile insurance to operate a vehicle. The policy must be issued by an insurance company qualified to issue motor vehicle liability insurance in Alabama.
