I even presented them with documentation from MD's website that said my boat didn't ever have one and they refused. The boat I bought was a 1981, so no title, but the PA book said that they DO title boats and required a title. MD didn't start titling boats until the mid 80s. They have a big book of all the states' rules but it is sometimes wrong or not up to date. Out-of-state police aren't required to know VA's rules and they usually don't.Ībove all, be prepared for PA to be confused. Print out whatever you find on VA law concerning that in case you get pulled over in MD or WV. The plate stayed with the vehicle and you could just drive it without transferring for a while. That was the case in TX, but I think it was actually 60 days. Some states do a 30-day thing where a signed title is good as a temporary registration for 30 days, meaning you could drive it home. You'll get the title in the mail a few weeks later. Once that happens, they can punch some buttons, take your money, and hand you a plate and registration. Once you get it back to PA, the person doing the transfer will need to see the vehicle itself to do a VIN verification and GVWR confirmation. As long as you call your insurance company and add/pay before August 31st, it's covered. In theory (check with your company), you could buy it on August 1st, drive it home, do the title/registration, and hit something on the way home. It is covered, provided you add it and pay the premium within 30 days of the purchase date. PA insurance law (this can be more or less restricted by the company you use) gives you 30 days to add it to your policy. You don't need insurance on the new Nissan yet. As long as you have the state minimum liability on another vehicle, you can get stuff done. As with any transfer in PA, you'll need your ID and an insurance card. You might need a young priest and an old priest. If you take a VA title to a VA notary, they will likely decline to notarize it because they can't, or at least aren't supposed to.Ībove all, ALWAYS consult two different DMV tag places AND check the requirements on the PennDOT website. It's not kosher to notarize something that doesn't have a spot for it, therefore PA can't really require it. The reason is, since VA doesn't require a notary there is no space on the title for a notary stamp. If VA doesn't need a notary, you don't need a notary. PA (with caveats) uses the rules of the other state. I'm the one who posted about my nephew getting screwed.
