Trailer license

Rubi06 · 10-25-2007, 09:50 PM

I'm looking at getting a trailer but it has no title. How do you go about getting tags for a trailer without a title?

fabricator · 10-25-2007, 09:57 PM

go get it weighed anywhere
take the weight ticket to the DMV
give them your SS# for a vin
pay them

fabricator · 10-25-2007, 09:58 PM

tell them you built it

Rubi06 · 10-25-2007, 10:03 PM

Thank you.

What kinds of places would be good to have it weighed?

Q34.

What are the procedures for titling and registering trailers in Ohio?

http://www.bmv.ohio.gov/title/title_faq.htm

A34.

If the trailer is not a travel trailer and weighs 4,000 pounds or less, you must obtain a weight slip on the trailer and then take that and proof of ownership to your Deputy Registrar's office and apply for plates and registration. If the trailer weighs 4,001 pounds or more, you would take proof of ownership and apply for Ohio title at any county title office.

Nate, I have a Lexis/Nexis account. Enter a few passwords and you're good to go. Actually, I know nothing but the passwords!

Fab gave the same answer with no passwords!

This can make it hard to get insurance, mine is titled as home made also and Nationwide called me about it. Mine is just and old snowmobile trailer and everything was fine then.

Any feed/grain place has certified scales & some recycling/scrap places have them also. My trailer was home built & I took it & weighed it & went & got tags. I think it costs about $12 to have it weighed, but you only have to do this once.

Make very sure that it is not stolen and get the individuals info. who is selling it.

Here's some suggested language if the vehicle is of the type that it has no title (consult your own attorney - no legal advice intended):
