DMV is requiring a Title from Washington State because it was stored there! CA DMV wants a certified weight slip, VIN verification from CHP (no cost). Oh, BTW, I would require a "one day moving permit" to get some of these requirements done. But Wait, there is more!!! I cannot get a permit unless I pay the $501 fee upfront!!! Uh, excuse me, but the military does not register/title their vehicles in any state nor do they title them by Federal standards. When was the last time you saw a convoy driving down the road and how many had license plates? I would not be surprised if Kalifornia started ticketing military vehicles in a convoy (or other) and asking for their insurance coverage too!
I paid city and state taxes on the vehicle because it was sold in Washington State to Washington state. CA DMV states that would be deducted from any taxes due to Kalifornia...Yeah...Right. This CV pandemic has most transactions going thru mail back and forth so I have not had any opportunity to discuss this with a live person...like that would do any good! Gotta make an "appointment" by phone. I spent the better part of one week trying to get thru which I finally did. The person stated that it would be "about 6 weeks" before an appointment is available and I gave them 4 offices close to me to choose from. Go Figure!
So, USPS is the courier for now and the beat goes on! Color me stressed out!!!
