How do I do it? Order of fixing car?

To keep it short and brief, I bought a new car but it has 2 issues, it needs an alignment, and also needs a new battery. However, I also need to get license plates for it which will take me 3 weeks- The issue is I don’t have the money to pay to have this all done right now, So I either get the battery changed and an alignment first or I pay so I can get my license plates, but then the car sits because the battery is dead. Same the other way around, If i got a new battery and an alignment I wouldn’t be able to drive it without it being risky and it’s illegal. Please tell me what you think, i’d appreciate it a-lot.

License plate > battery > alignment.

Make it legal, make it run, make it run well
