Which might end up being two trips TOO MANY.
Call first. The State DMV or local Sheriffs office.
Note that I specified "here in Montana". I don't need to call, because I have done it. Several times, in fact.
Of course, if YOU do not know how it all works in YOUR state, you definitely should call somebody who does know. But, ask the question of somebody who knows, like the office where you do title transfers. It is unlikely any law enforcement officer will know, unless you are lucky enough to find one of the few who have "been there, done that".
Many times, when I call to have a VIN inspection done, I have had to guide the LEO through the process, because he had never done it before. I even had to show one of them where to sign the form!
