I have read various things about licensing and come to the following strategy. Please let me know if I am off-base.

1. I go to my local DMV and get a temporary permit for around $20.

2. I go to Canada and drive the trailer back here.

3. I take the trailer back to the DMV, get an inspection, pay 8.4% or so, and get my plates in 30 to 60 days.

Sound about right?
We live in California and we couldn't get a permit . Told we have 20 days to register and they needed to see the trailer and check vin number . Called highway patrol and we were told just have all your papers in case and even with no license you will be fine . Many highway patrol and police passed us going home and never stopped us. Didn't come home right away stayed at daughters on Whidbey Island for 5 days then took 4 days to get home and that was the easy part . Will not get into DMV again . Someone suggested to go to small town DMV when you get in California and get trailer registered . I would do that if I was picking up again . Pat
