Can you park in DC without DC plates?

If you park or operate a vehicle in public space in the District of Columbia for 60 consecutive days, the vehicle must be registered and display a valid DC DMV inspection sticker and tags. DC's Department of Public Works (DPW) monitors for automobiles that are not in compliance with DC registration requirements.
