Anyone registered a bike or car out of state from where you live?I've heard S.Dakota is a possibility.I'm trying to get around NYS new aftermarket exhaust law. I know,Iknow I should just move but I heard here everywhere decent is full.
Iowa allows me to license and insure vehicles without having an IA drivers license. You would have to have a valid Iowa address to mail the title to, however.
In CA we have all the same stupid restrictions, but I've learned that the roadside smog/registration places often care more about making a living than about their state's ridiculous laws. When I registered my land cruiser, I asked a friend who owns some heavily modified cars where to go. He sent me to a guy who barely looked at my truck. They didn't even have rollers for an AWD vehicle so they just tested it in neutral outside the door. Ask around.
Eventually, you could still get a ticket for not registering your car where your primary residence is. Are there counties in NY that don't do emissions testing? I just moved to Arizona and found out they do a visual on diesels in Phoenix, and the kitty-cat somehow fell off my van that I bought in Oregon. Where there is no diesel test. Took the cops about a week before one of them asked about my out of state plates. Current plan is to register it in Yuma where they don't do testing. That way, it's still an AZ plate when I'm driving around.
I live in MD but tag all of my vehicles in SD. Pretty simple process, they only require a bare minimum of documents and info. -Current title -Copy of bill of sale -Copy of your DL -Proof of SSN -SD Title Application No safety inspection, no emissions inspection, no insurance requirement.
No wonder why we can't get potholes patched. Ps....hope you're good dude! Im back over on the east side.
People with UTV's, SxS's, RZR's....whatever you prefer to call them....will get an out of state registration from South Dakota for their UTV. I know some personally that have done it in Ohio. You don't need a SD address or anything. It's literally called an 'out-of-state registration'. Give a small town county courthouse a call and they'll send you the paperwork. Fill it out, send $60-ish to them and they send you your plates. All you need is a turn signal kit, horn, mirrors.
I’m a legal resident of MD, I’ve never even been to SD! It seems crazy, but they will title and tag vehicles for out of state residents. There are a few other states that do it as well. It’s free money for them. They know most of these vehicles will never drive on a SD road.
The way a lot of car collectors and movie car companies get around the issue is to set up an LLC in Montana and register the vehicles with the corporation. The issue with just tagging a vehicle in South Dakota or Vermont (if you fixing a title problem) comes up when you get pulled over. The police are going to have an issue with your SD registration and your New York (or whichever) state driver’s license. Those things are supposed to match up, and they can take exception when they don’t.
Yes I think that could be a potential issue. Since I started running SD tags I’ve been pulled over several times for various offenses, and the police don’t seem to really care about it.
