Message: <blockquote data-quote="Popeye" data-source="post: 56792" data-attributes="member: 148">In Illinois I had an issue with registering my ATV trailer.  Here trailers need registration and plates.  I bought the trailer, which is obviosly an old snowmobile tilt trailer that had been rehabbed and not scratch built.  I bought it from a guy in Illinois who said he never titled it as he only used it on his farm and farm equipment is exempt.  He got it from a guy in Wiscoland where trailers are not even registered.  The DMV told me the seller, who gave me a bill of sale, had to titled it and then he could sell it to me.  Fortunately for me the DMV office I went to did not have trailer plates there and told me to go to a different office after I got the seller to title it and transfer title to me.  RIGHT!  I went to the other DMV office and asked how to title a homemade trailer. I filled out the paperwork, paid my fee and was handed a sticker with my VIN and a license plate.  The clerk recommended that I keep the sticker in my tow vehicle and use metal stamps or etch the VIN on the trailer tongue.  I stamped the number on a piece of aluminum and rivited it to the tongue.</blockquote>
