1.3.1.4.1 Transfer Trailer Title and Get Trailer
License Plate
If trailer does not have current license plates, take the bill of sale, and the prior owner's title and registration papers, and go to a DMV office to complete the transfer of title, and register the trailer in your name, and get new plates. You'll need to do this eventually anyway, but you don't want to be towing a trailer with expired tags, so take care of it now if you need to.
I
found that, with the right paperwork, one trip to DMV and $50.00 is all that is
required, and that the process will take about an hour, including waiting in
line, provided you arrive at the right time of day. Check with your local DMV office to find out what paperwork you
need, what their hours are, and when is the best time of the day to arrive.
