Here is the simple solutions that has worked for me a couple of times in Maryland.? Go to an engraver (trophy supplier or "Things Remembered" store) and buy a small plate and have them engrave the VIN on the plate that appears on the title.? Then?rivet the plate to the tounge of the trailer.? The inspection shop should have no problem with verifying the VIN on the trailer to the VIN on the title.? Once you have the inspection certificate then go to the DMV with a check and you should be in good shape.??
My boat came from KY which doesn't even register trailers.? Hence I didn't even have a valid title and I could not find the VIN on the trailer.? I had a plate made and attached it to the trailer.??I had it inspected and then went to one of those third party DMV stores and registered the trailer.? It cost me an extra $25 dollars for the stores fee, but they are not as much of a?pain in the A**, with policy and procedures and I was able to walk out with my plates within 20 minutes.? It was well work the extra money.? Good Luck!!?

Pennsylvania (my home state) will not give me a registration because the VIN plate is missing. Hence, I can't prove that the trailer is the same as the one for which the VIN number is shown on the title. Virginia DMV won't talk to me because I am not a resident of Virginia. The previous owner won't talk to me because he has his money. Does anyone know if the VIN number is perhaps stamped somewhere on the frame so that an inspection mechanic can verify that the VIN number on the title and the VIN number on the trailer match. Thanks for any information or suggestions. ________________________________________ PeoplePC Online A better way to Internet http://www.peoplepc.com _______________________________________________ http://mailman.xmission.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/montgomery_boats ________________________________________________________________________ More new features than ever.
