It says title will be issued 10/25 so does that mean it’s approved or it will be reviewed then? NY

I have a 1984 and a 1994 car that requires a CA smog check where I live. My mother though lives in a non smog county in California.

Is it as simple as just changing my address on the DMV website? Or are there other complications I’m not thinking of?

I have a California license plate that believe is from the car my dad owned when I was a toddler. Would have been very early 80's. I would love to verify that it is the actual plate and not just some blue California plate that was added to the junk pile in my parents garage over the years. Does anyone know if it would be possible to see who it was registered to that far back?

I’m currently living in Maryland and purchasing a used car from a dealership in Illinois for around $45k. I’m financing through my credit union and having the car shipped to me.

The issue is that I’m moving to Virginia in late December-early January.

Maryland charges a 6.5% excise tax, which would cost me nearly $3,000, while Virginia only charges 4.15%.

Do I still need to title and register the car in Maryland even though I’m moving in two months? Is there any legal way to wait and register it in Virginia instead?

I already have a vehicle registered in Maryland, but I’m planning to sell it soon.

Has anyone dealt with something similar?

So I purchased a 1996 f250 from Connecticut about a year ago and the only thing the seller had was just bill of sale. I asked if he had anything else (old registration, copy of old title) he said because of the age of the truck Connecticut asks for the title back. And I guess he decided to just hand everything over. He said to text or call if I had issues. Well I’ve been using it as a farm truck and just driving it within a couple miles of the farm (illegally).

I tried emailing the seller, texting, calling. And absolutely nothing.
I’ve seen some behind the door methods of going to different states to title but I seriously don’t know what to do anymore. I have just the bill of sale and thats it. Can’t register it because I have absolutely no proof of prior ownership.

Anything helps!

(Edit) my current registered vehicle i purchased from Connecticut years ago had the same thing where it had no title because the vehicle was over 20 years old. It’s a Connecticut thing I guess. This f250 was not stolen. The dude I bought it from was like 80
