Insurance agents, bank reps, state employees, LEO all have different points of view regarding licensing , insurance, and titling according to their agenda.
Many states have different rules for each agency.. And i have found that there are different interpretations of the rules. If your insurance agent didnt ask a certain question that doesnt mean the question isn't pertinent. Read the fine print. Some state agencies have rules that dont bend. Others know ways to circumvent rules go get you on your way . And then you have lazy , or incompetent, or apathetic agents and representatives in the mix . Yet still there are those to go the extra mile for you..
That being said, do your homework. Ask around. Call for info before making redundant trips to the departments.
I can tell you of people who would swear up and down that im kieing about how I obtained registration in certain states. Well heres my paperwork!
Its a crapshoot!.
In
Alabama no
license required for boat trailers. A bill of
sale is sufficient as title .
In Wisconsin i can title a home made
trailer thru the mail and register an abandoned boat without trouble.
There will be thise whom disagree , oh well !
Good luck in your quest !
