Boat Trailer Registration

Take a trip to the dmv.

With the trailer?

I have the license plate but not sure where the old registration or title is at. The boat wasn't for me initially.

If it is registered to you, I think all you will have to do is pay back registratiin fees and you will be fine.

Go to an Express OMV with your paperwork.

Bill of sale, title, old registration, plate etc.

If you don't have any of that, be prepared to bend over with filing and duplicate fees.

the only way this works then is, if the original titled owner, or someone with power of attourney for them, applies for a duplicate title mailed to them (costs $80 and takes 3-4 weeks to arrive) then you go to notary and do a title transfer and bill of sale on it, then you go to DMV and pay for new title (another $80) plus license and registration ($40 or $100 for lifetime plates)

if the original titled owner, or someone with power of attourney for them cant be there to go to notary and transfer it, its lawn furniture so forget about it

The title and expired registration are in my brothers name. We can not find either document. ( think we lost it in the flood). Now we are trying to sell the boat and the trailer registration is expired.

he needs to go to DMV with proof of ID and pay the $80 fee to request a duplicate title be mailed to him, after you get that, do it just as you would a normal sale

Pretty much what he said. If it's still in your brother's name, he needs to be the one to go to the DMV and renew the registration and request a new title. Once he gets all that straightened out and everything it current then yall can do a simple bill of sale or act of donation and then go to a title place or notary and take care of the transfer.

As long as it's in his name still, you can't do anything about it unfortunately.
