So the car is new, and paid off. I am the titleholder and there is no lien. I appreciate any information!


Answer
The title has to be signed off according to California law. Then the car would be re-registered in Texas by the new owner.
This is from the California state site:
When selling a California registered vehicle, the registered owner of record must:
⢠Release ownership by signing on line one of the title.
If the vehicle is, or was financed, the lienholderâs name appears in the legal owner section and their release with counter signature is required on line two.
⢠Provide the purchaser with evidence of a valid smog certification, if applicable.
Smog certificates are good for 90 days from the date of inspection. The smog certification is not required if the owner or buyer signs a statement that smog certification was submitted with renewal fees within 90 days prior to the transfer date (a vehicle inspection report may be required for proof of certification).

Recent legislation changed the requirements for vehicle transfers occurring on or after January 1, 2005. When you transfer a vehicle that is four or less model years old a smog certification will not be required. The four or less model years old rule does not apply to diesel powered vehicles. A smog transfer fee will be collected from the new owner. When a vehicle is more than four model years old, evidence of a current smog certification must be provided by a seller except when the following occurs: ⦠The transfer occurs between a spouse, domestic partner, sibling, child, parent, grandparent, or grandchild.
⦠A biennial smog certification was submitted to DMV within 90 days prior to the vehicle transfer date (a vehicle inspection report may be required for proof of certification).

⢠Provide the odometer mileage if the vehicle is less than 10 years old (Vehicle/Vessel Transfer and Reassignment Form, REG 262). If the title does not have a designated space for this information, a REG 262 reporting the odometer mileage must be signed by both the seller and buyer. The REG 262 cannot be copied. An original must be submitted. To obtain a form by mail, call DMV's automated phone service 24 hours a day, 7 days a week at 1-800-777-0133. To speak to an operator call between the hours of 8 a.m. and 5 p.m. Monday - Friday, Pacific Standard Time, or pick one up from your local DMV.
â¢Protect Your Liability. Complete a Notice of Transfer and Release of Liability. The seller is responsible for reporting the change of ownership to DMV within 5 days from the date of sale. After DMV updates the information from the Notice of Transfer and Release of Liability, you will be cleared from future liability on the vehicle. The purchaser is responsible for reporting the change of ownership to DMV within 10 days from the date of purchase.

How much does it cost to transfer license plates to a new car in Massachusetts?

I am asking this question for my uncle. I don't drive yet so I don't know the answer! I went on the Mass RMV site and didn't see any info on transferring plates. maybe it was on there but I didn't see it. lol
thank you for looking at my question.



Answer
Go to the nearest Insurance broker so that they can fill out the RMV1. Transferring plates goes for approximately 15.00 plus any weight difference. For instance if the new vehicle weights less then the weight of the old car you only pay the transfer fee. If It weights more then It is approximately $1.60 per 100 lbs difference in the weight. If the old car weights 2400 lbs and the new car weight 3100 that equals 700 lbs so@ $1.60 per 100 lbs that is a grand total of $11.20 + 15.00=26.20 plus any tax title and local fee. The broker (your uncle has to have gotten the Insurance somewhere.) In Mass Is the only place to get a reg form. Not at the DMV.
