Great vid. Much appreciated. Can you give an idea what the registration will cost? I’m sure it depends on car value or purchase price. But about how much? Thanks.
Hi - I spoke with the representative at the DMV but she did not mentioned anything about needing a weight certificate on a truck. Is this what you will use to fill out the first section on the REG343? Thanks for the help!
@ I understand. But when I asked the DMV, she never mentioned anything about it. I guess it’s safe to find a place to get it done. Appreciate the help!
Hi Sir, My car registration( registered in texas) expired 4 months back, and now I wanna register the car in California?could you give me instructions, please
What if we don’t have the current registration of the vehicle but we have the title & bill of sale ? It’s a Arizona plate truck and I’m trying to register in CA
Cars do not need to be weighed. The DMV or your registration service has all the documents you need, they fill out the vin verification, you fill out the app for title, but it’s only 1 page and super easy. Fill it out while you wait.
Great information! I just bought Porsche Cayenne that'll be shipped to CA soon. Do SUVs require weight certificates? Also , should I contact my insurance company ahead of getting the vehicle? Thank you.
SUV’s do not require weight cert. only trucks. Typically insurance has a 30 day grace period to add your vehicle. But, better safe then sorry, you should add it asap.
I’m looking into buying a car that was transferred over from NJ (private seller) and was wondering what I would need to do to register it here in California or if I would just need the NJ title and smog then head over to the dmv to get it registered and everything
This is the clearest instruction I've seen on this topic. Do you know any additional steps for purchasing a NEW vehicle out of sate? Also you did not mention taxes in this video, how does that work exactly?
If purchasing from a dealer, new or used vehicle, the dealer will do all the paperwork, registration, and collect the tax. You don’t need to do anything. If purchasing private party, your local DMV or registration spot will collect the tax. You don’t have to worry about tax, the govt will make sure you pay them lol
@@ivyn4150 yes and no. It depends on the situation. If the same cop continuously pulls you over they will eventually cite you for not having registration in the state. But that is so rare.
@@ManOnTheMoon2131 they’re not your concern or responsibility. Hang em on the garage wall, unless previous owners wants to keep them or if their state requires them to keep them. But nothing you need to worry about.
my mom passed away in Washington state. we shipped her car 2004 car to California but we can not find the title. How do I register it here? we have her death certificate and last reg.
I’d start off by visiting dmv, with your documents, and they’ll tell you what you need. In my experience, I’ve had to get a duplicate title from the state it was last registered in, and then transfer it to California
I bought a car through a private seller and is registered in AZ, I have the title but not the registration is that also need In order to register it in CA ?
My son and I live in Oregon and he got me a 2021 Tacoma back then and it was a gift to me. I’m moving to California and I’m afraid how I’m suppose to report this or document this at DMV. I do have the title with my name so I own it out right. Would I have to pay a lot of it’s gifted to me? I’m afraid that they will charge me a lot which I’m on SSDI and afraid that I won’t be able to afford the transfer. Any information is greatly appreciated.
Lucky I was able to find out more on this. And was able to take care of everything that was needed for the Tacoma. As a women sometimes we just don’t know much about this process. And yes I was only afraid is ok because I wanted to do what was right thing in my situations. But thanks for your concern. Although you sounds like a real douch. Just as I sounded afraid.
I’ve driven my out of state cars all the way up until the registration was due. But! Check with your insurance. Typically nowadays, to add a car to your policy, they want it registered in your name in your state.
@@nathanaelhicks31 if your vehicle is from outside of California, with a title outside of California, it will not matter if the registration is passed due if you are now registering it here in California
But, don’t forget, if dmv doesn’t receive proof of insurance from your insurance company, eventually they can suspend your registration. So make sure it’s insured soon after you get it registered. I think it’s 30 days.

I just did truck last week. $480, but that could vary greatly depending on your purchase price because of sales tax.
I just back from the DMV who said the vehicle needed an out of state inspection
Always something in California DMV, and those three, and four letter Government agencies also....
@ I agree, I hate it here.
What happened to the freedom the founding fathers fought for?
@@somethingappropriate Trump 2024 a reality will see what happens to those three and four letter word agencies, I know RFK has an axe to grind.....

Are you serious ??? So what did you do

@@Erjung1506 weight cert is separate, they will provide the cert wherever you get it done

@@Erjung1506you will need it 👍🏼
I’m trying to register my car back to California license plate and currently has another state plate do I need to do all this process all over again?
Yes. But cars do not need weight certificate

What if we don’t have the current registration of the vehicle but we have the title & bill of sale ? It’s a Arizona plate truck and I’m trying to register in CA
Not a problem. Each state doesn’t care about the other state’s registration status.
Thank you man
@@MrAnthonyhernandez12 you’re welcome!
What rims are on that first gen tundra? They look so good!

If the vehicle is a car does it need to be weighed? Where do I get the VIN verification form and the application for title?
Cars do not need to be weighed. The DMV or your registration service has all the documents you need, they fill out the vin verification, you fill out the app for title, but it’s only 1 page and super easy. Fill it out while you wait.
Do you pay taxes on the purchasing state or when you register at California or is it both states? Thank you for the video!
You only pay sales tax here in California based upon the sales price
Great information! I just bought Porsche Cayenne that'll be shipped to CA soon. Do SUVs require weight certificates? Also , should I contact my insurance company ahead of getting the vehicle? Thank you.

Cars are easy. Trucks are a pain.
Make sure to smog it before you go
This is the clearest instruction I've seen on this topic. Do you know any additional steps for purchasing a NEW vehicle out of sate? Also you did not mention taxes in this video, how does that work exactly?

If purchasing private party, your local DMV or registration spot will collect the tax. You don’t have to worry about tax, the govt will make sure you pay them lol
After registering it out of state without having resistance in another state can a cop tell me anything or make me register it in California?
@@ivyn4150 yes and no. It depends on the situation. If the same cop continuously pulls you over they will eventually cite you for not having registration in the state. But that is so rare.
What if the car diesnt run but used to. And you cant move it to get weighed
@@averycalderon3917 tow truck would be best option. But if you can’t drive it….You also can’t smog it. Might as well just wait until it runs.
I’m about to buy a truck from a family member in WA. What did you do with the out of state plates?
@@ManOnTheMoon2131 they’re not your concern or responsibility. Hang em on the garage wall, unless previous owners wants to keep them or if their state requires them to keep them. But nothing you need to worry about.
@@dezerttrucks cool, thanks man
I assume the weight certificate only applies to commercial vehicles, is that accurate? Thanks.
Correct. Not for cars
Can you do an ATV? Or dirt bike this way?
You actually don’t need to do any of this with off road vehicles, way easier.
Thanks

Nope. Each state doesn’t care about the other states registration. And just to be clear you do not need a weight certificate for a car.

Are those 37in tires on the tundra?
Yes
If i buy an out of state car from a private seller how long do i have to register it?
I’ve driven my out of state cars all the way up until the registration was due. But! Check with your insurance. Typically nowadays, to add a car to your policy, they want it registered in your name in your state.
@@dezerttrucks thanks I'll check it out
If my registration expired can I still get my vehicle registered?
@@nathanaelhicks31 if your vehicle is from outside of California, with a title outside of California, it will not matter if the registration is passed due if you are now registering it here in California
Does dmv check under the hood
Nope, not at all.
I purchase a diesel sedan 1985 do I need it to get it smog
That’s a good question! In my experience, 1995 and older diesel trucks do NOT need smog. But a car, I do not know.
Did you need any insurance stuff?
No. Only if you have a demand needing proof from a history of not having insurance. Otherwise you’ll be fine.
But, don’t forget, if dmv doesn’t receive proof of insurance from your insurance company, eventually they can suspend your registration. So make sure it’s insured soon after you get it registered. I think it’s 30 days.
Do they do any other types of inspections?
As in do they do safety inspections, looking for tinted windows, etc?
@@jessicareal2899 nope. Not at all. That is a CHP thing. The DMV does not care about that kind of stuff..
Do I need the weight certificate if it's a car
No. Trucks only.
@dezerttrucks I saw SUV I like to get in arizona do I need weight certification,
