Title it in Alabama. A title is a title anywhere, then just register it in California.

basically you will have to file paper work with the dmv as a specially constructed vehicle and it will have to pass an inspection (lights, plates correct hitch etc)

Re: HELP i need to title a "homemade" trailer

These guys are right. Take it to the DMV to get the ball rolling, either the CHP or DMV will do the inspection, then rivet a tag on it with serial numbers. Naturally you will have to pay "fees", and they will then issue you plates, stickers and a title as SPCNS (Special construction). It's not a major deal, as with trailers, no smog or anything is required.

cant have to have the trailer here, all i got to do here is go to the DMV they walk out look at it (hillbillys could care less about lights and safty chains idoits), then give you a tag, and then the state sends you a vin plate a few weeks later

and yea it will pass inspection, i put lights, chains, brakes, and a 12k hitch on it

thanks for the help guys, i will pass this info on to her
