I registered a trailer(factory built) in my county and all they did was look at the bill of sale. She never even ask about the serial number. When I registered my M35A2 she had to verify the numbers.
I know this didn't help.........

I had to get a homemade registration for my boat trailer last year in Gwinnett. You just need a bill of sale and the DMV will give you homemade VIN ID plate which you install permanently on the trailer. Next it will have to be signed off by an LEO. They will come to your house in Gwinnett. Take the paperwork back to the DMV and pay them $12.00 and you will be legal. I had to make two trips to the DMV, but some counties may be easier.

Commercial truckers do it all the time. Can't be that hard.

Wow, sounds inconsistant depending on county, as usual.
Also, this is for a ultilty trailer. Bill of sale date '92, trailer date '73, from Al. ByteTheBullet (-: |

When I registered mine two years ago, I had to get a Deputy to say the trailer was roadworthy, then attach a VIN plate and I was good to go

Byte,
When I registered my homemade trailer in Cobb, they gave me a VIN plate and asked me to attach it to my trailer. It was really easy. Accountant |

It will depend some on the county. I went in, told them I needed to register a homemade trailer. She gave me a serial number plate and a tag, and asked me for $12. That was it. You might have to have a deputy come out and look, but I cant swear by that, either. Last time I handled a call like that was more than 4 years ago.

Thanks for all replies...on last question...
Do I need to take the trailer when I go to get the tags/vin plate? re: the 'inspection'. ByteTheBullet (-: |

Get paper work from tag office. Call local Sheriff's Office requesting VIN verification, Deputy comes and checks trailer. He signs stating that the trailer is good to go, attach VIN on trailer. Take signed paper work to tag office, get trailer tag. I failed to answer your question. No you do not have to take your trailer to the tag office. S/F Paw |

just to add what guy above said, be sure to have the vin plate attached (near the tongue) with rivets or screws with the head rounded out. hence permanantly attached, before the deputy arrives to inspect. some will have you plug it up to your vehicle to test the lights work. quite painless.

Probably 15 years ago in Cobb County we registered one at the tag office. We paid them and gave us a VIN plate to bolt on. That was it.

In Coweta County, I registered a home built trailer I got from my brother-in-law out of state without a problem. He lived on a farm and didn't have it registered in Mississippi.
I just went to the tag office told them what's going on. Paid the fee ($12?) and they gave me a small plate that I was to securely fix to the trailer. A Sheriff Deputy had to come out and inspect it and sign off on the paperwork (from tag office). I took the paperwork back and got my tag. No problems. |
