where is the best place to title a humvee

[1redgmc]

And as mentioned before, the titling services seem not to be able to do it anymore.

You are 100% correct. In fact - all that many of them do is charge you big $$ to apply to Vermont on your behalf. You end up paying them several hundred dollars for something you can do yourself in MINUTES online

IMO the online titling services are a complete rip-off

VT is the only State left that will assist you. They enjoy great revenue from this service - so let's be mindful and thankful for it so as not to ruin it for everyone.

Here is their website where if you take the time to read and follow their plain English instructions - you can obtain plates and registration - which can be used in MANY States (probably not all) to obtain a title.

Here are the instructions:

Page 2 is what you should pay particular attention to

Here is the form:

Once I got my plates and registration from Vermont - I went to my DMV and applied for a title. The only other thing I had to do was obtain a VIN verification from a local LEO. It was SIMPLE!

I wasted MONTHS and lots of $$ on a useless "professional" title service

This is very interesting to me. If I have a foreign vehicle (non standard VIN) would this still apply? I'd like to register a foreign MV in CA but want to eliminate as many state agencies as possible and use private companies instead. I was thinking VIN verifiers and hoped triple AAA or some other service could get me around the rest. But I am open to an out of state solution.

California DMV and CHP are surprisingly easy to deal with actually... just have CHP assign it a VIN so the DMV computer can create a point of origin and you're good to go. Ex-military vehicles don't scare them... it's the lack of a 17-digit VIN that has to be addressed so the computers can recognize them. I wouldn't turn to VT as a solution until you've been personally turned away by at least 2 DMV offices... including at least one outside a big city.

Good to know, Thank you.

No problem... here's a bit more detailed write-up I did going through my process: [LINK]

Ok here's a quick question, how do you get a CHP officer to do a vin verification, the vehicle isn't registered? Do you use the DMV one way pass? Thanks.

im so not looking forward to registering my duece. I'm going the "housecar" RV route.

I could get that HMMWV titled here easy for the O.P, but both he and the vehicle would have to be here.

When i took my humvee for repair at a H1 hummer dealer here, I was told that AM General told them not to take military hummer for service anymore as they would not be supplying parts for it anymore. The parts that all they ordered has this sticker in all of them.
