If the dolly is doing 100mph and loaded with whacky tobacco you may get stopped, other than that I wouldn't worry. Been to 46 states so far and 55or60 thousand miles no problem.

A dolly doesn't have to be registered w/ or w/o a vehicle on it.
If there is a vehicle on it, the vehicle must be registered (or tow permit) If the vehicle on the dolly is not registered, the driver can be cited for towing an unregistered vehicle that has wheels in contact w/ the hiway.

Registration rules and procedures are VERY "State Specific".
The only place you are going to get a valid answer is from the applicable State authorities in your state!
While it does not do you any good at all, I can say that here in Montana a dolly does not need to be titled or registered. BUT, one can do so if desired.

Most of the time a dolly is listed as equipment and does not require to be registered. We just purchased a ACME dolly and even though we do have a title it does not have to be registered here in NC.

New hampshire does not require registration of tow dollies:
Saf-C 504.13 Single Axle Tow Dolly.

(a) Registration of single axle tow dollies shall not be required in this state.

(b) For the purposes of this section, โ€œsingle axle tow dollyโ€ means a vehicle designed and used exclusively to transport another motor vehicle and upon which the front or rear wheels of the towed motor vehicle are mounted, while the other wheels of the towed motor vehicle remain in contact with the ground.

Check with your DMV. They may or may not consider it a trailer.
