Spanish term or phrase: es obligatorio su porte al conducir el vehículo
Estoy traduciendo un certificado de circulación de un automóvil. En la parte posterior, dice:

"Este documento no acredita propiedad sobre el vehículo. Solo autoriza la circulación dentro del territorio nacional y **es obligatorio su porte al conducir el vehículo**.

Para efectuar transacciones que afecten la propiedad, y salir del territorio nacional, debe acompañarse del certificado de registro del vehículo."

Estoy tapada con la redacción de la idea en inglés. ¿Alguien me puede echar una mano? Mil gracias

English translation:and possession thereof is required whenever the vehicle is being driven
Explanation:
There are of course acceptable alternatives, but this appears to be the meaning. “Porte” refers here to “possession.”

agree  Toni Castano: I think formal language style is totally required here. It´s an official certificate! My only doubt is about "possession". // Okay, noted, Thanks.

  -> Thank you, Toni. I totally agree, and for this precise reason, I think that “possession” is a good translation of “porte” here.

neutral  ormiston: a small quibble. carrying structly means in your hands/arms which would make druving dangerous! vs having it 'on your person'

  -> In its raw, basic meaning, indeed. However, according to the Merriam-Webster Dictionary, for instance, it does also mean, "to wear or have on one's person".
