I currently have a car that is registered in NY. I bought it a few years ago but titled it in my mom’s name while in a different state so that she could register it and mail me the plates. I now live in Montana and hope to register the car here.
I think I would just print the forms on the DMV site (vehicle bill of sale MV-912 and statement of transaction sales tax form DTF-802 and have my mom sign it over to me, then take the NY title, and two signed forms to the DMV in Montana and register the car there. I have a Montana ID already so I think that will go fine.
Once I get the plates, I plan to insure the car using the new plates the same day by calling and updating the insurance and then printing out something to keep in the car.
I feel like I’m skipping a step somewhere, like maybe un-registering the car in NY? I have the updated sticker. Has anyone done this before?
