The constitution says that "full faith and credit" shall be given in each state to the public acts, records, and judicial proceedings of every other state. Thus each state must recognize, for example, a car registration issued in another state. This clause applies only to civil law, or laws relating to disputes between individuals, groups, or with the state.
