Bought a boat out of Georgia. To get trailer registered with DMV I have to get it inspected. Is that equivalent to going get an inspection sticker for a car, or am I making yet another trip to LDWF?

Did the trailer have a title in Georgia?

Not sure if this answers your question but LA no longer requires boat trailer inspections.

Used to be the same as a car inspection sticker, but as of August 1st, you shouldn't have to do that anymore. I registerred a trailer I built from a kit pretty easily. Just had to show the title. Didn't have to have any inpsection paperwork.

Yes, title in hand from Georgia. I let my bank handle all of my paperwork and all I'm getting is shite from both ends. I just keep all of my paperwork in my boat and tell green jeans it's pending. They haven't had a problem with it yet. Just getting aggravating getting the run around.

ETA: my boat paperwork hasn't been put through either. I haven't been pulled over for no license plate yet.

and they will tell you to take it to LSP.

The new law that passed exempted certain trailers from inspection, including boat trailers. Might wanna look into that.

My dad hasn't had a plate on the trailer for his 13' whaler for the last 15 years

. I think you'll be okay while you figure this out.
