Out of state purchase

From a dealer? Dealers sometimes issue temp plates. Or, you can go to DMV in the state you are buying in and get transport tags.

 

I just leased my truck in Savannah Ga. My insurance company offered a temp policy to get it home. It was cheaper for the insurance if you are already leased on with a company (this way you just start your policy). My truck came with a temp tag. In Virginia the DMV sells a trip permit you stick in the window for 3$. It's fifty if truck is not insured.

 

I just drove mine from Indiana when I bought it under the bill of sale about 2.5 hrs away never had an issue drove thru Chicago to get home

 

Arizona and New Mexico sell trip permits at their ports of entry. California requires you to purchase a trip permit in person at a DMV before entering the state.

California then required a licensed VIN verifier to fill out a form verifying the VIN before you could register it.
