14.015 Original Registrations

Document requirements for original registration are the same, except:

• A weight certificate is not required. The vehicle owner, lessee, or the dealer selling the trailer may certify to the trailer’s unladen weight on the Application for Registration of New Vehicle (REG 397) form or Statement of Facts (REG 256) form.
• A completed Permanent Trailer Identification (PTI) Certification (REG 4017) form is required.
• The nonresident service fee is not collected.

The PTI fee may be posted for any PTI trailer entering this state that is not licensed, registered, titled, or issued identification, and which will be placed into dealer inventory to be sold or a Nonresident Commercial Trip Permit (REG 41) may be purchased. This allows the trailer to enter the state without PTI registration in the dealer’s name (which prevents sale as a new trailer).
