    There’s a packet you can download on the Escapees website (assuming you use their mail forwarding service) that has all the forms you need to register a vehicle purchased out of state.  I had questions because I was buying a new trailer from a dealer (who refused to deal with Texas) and it hadn’t been registered before, so I didn’t have any of that paperwork.  I called Polk County and got clarification what I would need from the dealer, they were very helpful.

    The main form has blocks for private sale vehicles and the packet had all the information about what you need (title, previous registration etc.).  It looked like you could use the form for purchasing a vehicle from a private party as well as a dealership.

    While you can obtain the forms over the internet, you can’t do the registration online - you have to mail in the forms with the various supporting documents.  The next time my truck and trailer go to Texas, I will have 3 days to have them inspected/VIN number verified.

    P.S. Check with California about their rules - it used to be that any vehicle transaction done in California would be subject to California state tax and registration, at least as far as buying from a dealership goes.  I don’t think that private sales were subject to that but things change and my knowledge of such things dates back 5 years.

    looked and did not see a packet,
