rhurst Posted November 4, 2020 Share Posted November 4, 2020 I am trying to get a Louisiana tag for my 1923 Hudson but they didn't have titles then and my state won't issue me a license without one. I bought the car from Denmark where the owner never titled the car to avoid Denmark taxes. I have a bill of sale but that won't work. Does anyone have any suggestions? I did get a State Police inspection certificate but apparently that is not enough. Robert Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
George Cole Posted November 4, 2020 Share Posted November 4, 2020 FL has provisions for titling a vintage vehicle which has never been titled before. I just did it for my 1920 Cole car. Do you have a friend in FL? If so, 'sell' it to them using an official FL DMV Bill of Sale (Form HSMV 82050). Also sign a Certificate of No Lien against the car...there is no form for it, just write and sign a statement to that effect. Bring it to FL for a FL serial number check by any police. With those 3 documents, it can be titled in FL and then 'sold' back to you using the new FL title. If you have a friend in some other nearby state, check their titling requirements. They may have some similar process. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
padgett Posted November 4, 2020 Share Posted November 4, 2020 Check out Louisiana RS 32:707 . D.(1) If a certificate of title has not previously been issued for such vehicle in this state, said application, unless otherwise provided for in this Chapter, shall be accompanied by: (a) A proper bill of sale, or sworn statement of ownership, or a duly certified copy thereof, or such other evidence of ownership as the commissioner may in his discretion require; ... Also Section L. The club membership requirement is interesting. L. The office of motor vehicles shall issue a certificate of title for antique, classic, or vintage vehicles as defined in this Chapter when there is no current record of ownership to base the issuance of a new title on, provided: (1) The applicant has provided to the office of motor vehicles a statement from the state police auto theft division obtained by a local law enforcement agency confirming that based upon a check by photo or rub of a vehicle body identification plate the vehicle is not listed as stolen. (2) The sales tax based upon purchase price is paid. (3) The applicant has provided a statement attesting to his membership in an organized automobile club. Seems at least here, the DMV offices often do not know what their own laws are 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
