Tanja moves from country A to country B for a new job. She uses an online portal to request registration of her vehicle in country B. Data about Tanja and her vehicle is automatically retrieved from country A's records and sent to country B's vehicle registration authority to complete the registration. Tanja pays registration fees online, receives new license plates in country B, and returns her old plates from country A, completing the cross-border vehicle registration process enabled by digital systems connecting registration authorities across countries.
