Pick your state, choose your vehicle, and get a clear picture of what inspections, documents, and rules you might face before you’re standing at a counter hearing ‘you’re missing one form
Choose the state where the vehicle will be registered and the vehicle type. You’ll see a general overview of inspections, notarization, and common documents usually needed for tag & title in that state.
Disclaimer: This tool provides a general summary only and is not legal advice. Requirements can change or vary by situation (salvage, commercial, bonded titles, etc.). Always confirm with the official DMV/MVA in the state of registration.
Note:
Each state updates its tag, title, inspection, and tax rules on its own schedule — sometimes quietly, sometimes overnight.
We built this tool to give you a general roadmap so you know what to expect,
but the details may shift depending on your situation, the county, or the latest DMV updates.
That’s why every state section includes the official DMV link.
Check that link for the latest requirements before planning your visit.
