agree  Adolfo Fulco: «Empadronar» en Argentina.//Para mí y Abel es una pregunta PRO; ya ves que una persona bilingüe al azar no sabría contestar. *Empadronar* en Argentina y Uruguay; *registrar* en España; en México *emplacar* (no está en la RAE). Lo invito a *Votar Pro* :)

agree  Robert Carter: Definitely ("vehicle registration"), though "emplacado" is not the process itself; that's called "emplacamiento". This just means "registered" (i.e., I think the asker is probably wrong).
