All it takes is a "bill of sale". Be prepared to pay licensing fees and sales tax when registering. If you do not have a valid California address it will be a lot more complicated. If you do not have a California drivers license, forget it, The two are inseparable. Bring the current license plate off the trailer, and any other relevant documentation, with you to the DMV. Interpretaions at the CA DMV are totally dependent on who you are speaking with at the moment. None of them appear to be knowledgeable enugh to be consistent.
The last sentence ,isn't that the truth.
I lost the license plate on my tow dolly in Georgia due to a blowout on the dolly tire. When we returned home I went to get a replacement plate. The person at the DMV office had to check with someone about it because she did not know. Her supervisor told her what she had to do. Did all of the paper work, paid my replacement fees and left thinking that I would be getting the replacement plates in the mail in a few weeks. No what I got was a refund check as they are not required on dollies any longer. I don't think anyone at DMV knows much. JMO
