out of state registration..

[JITB]

How do i go about registering a car in Cali, if im still in GA..

My gf, is taking my civic to cali with her.. but its still in my name.. will i be able to register it with me not being in Cali? anyone ever do this before?

Only if you can provide proof of residency in Cali. Utility bill or driver's license. Later, QD.

[JITB]

Me or her?

She still has a cali license.. but i wont even be goin over there until this summer..

If the car is in your name, then you. Later, QD.

Why not just keep a ga tag on it?

[JITB]

because in cali, they need both tags in front and back.. and from what im being told she will get pulled over real quick with just a rear tag.

because in cali, they need both tags in front and back.. and from what im being told she will get pulled over real quick with just a rear tag. why not just sign the title over to her, but tell her to leave it in the glove, when she gets there, get a smog test, take it to the DMV and get it registered in her name... then when you get there, register it back to your name....

I don't think you'd be able to do it without being physically over there, since they check ID. You can sometimes fly there for like 150 bux, might as well do that when she gets there and save all the hassle of transferring it and transferring it back.

just leave with the GA tags...if she gets pulled over its registered in Ga...they cant give her a ticket for not having a front plate... I have a friend who had Tx tags on his car in Ga for a few years! he is back in Tx now...never had to change a thing...

[quickdodge®]

..they cant give her a ticket for not having a front plate..

You're only right for one reason. The car is registered in JITB's name. Otherwise they can give her one. If the car were in her name and they see that she has residency in the state for over 30 days, she can be cited.

Never had to? Wrong. He always had to. He just never got caught, lolol. Later, QD.

[Nittanys1]

well im sure he reg'd it every year in tx....

He probably did. Once you've already registered the car in a state, you don't have to keep showing residency each year to renew the registration. Later, QD.

[JITB]

the car is still being payed for!! so no title to sign over..

are we screwed? i

even though this might work i would NEVER sign the title of my car of to ANY female or anybody else

almost 100% true except if that person was in the military and stationed in GA. then he couldve claimed residency in any state as long as he payed that states taxes and everything just as if he were actually living in that state.
