California Vehicle Registration – Made Easy with Morb Auto Registration

If you’ve just purchased a vehicle in California or moved here from another state, you’re required to register your car to stay road legal. At Morb Auto Registration, we make the process fast and simple — no DMV visits, no long lines, and no stress.

Registering a Vehicle You Purchased in California

If your car was purchased from a dealership, they usually handle the registration and issue temporary tags. If you purchased from a private party, the responsibility falls on you. California law requires registration within 10 days of purchase to avoid penalties. We handle it all — no DMV appointment needed.

Bring the following:

• Completed Application for Title or Registration (Form REG 343)
• Vehicle title signed by the seller (include odometer reading if under 10 years old)
• Smog certificate (required for vehicles older than 4 years)
• Payment for applicable registration fees

A VIN inspection is required and handled by our team on-site. We issue your registration card, plates, and stickers right away.

Registering a Vehicle as a New California Resident

New to California? You have 20 days to register your out-of-state vehicle. We can help you complete the entire process without visiting the DMV.

Bring the following:

• Completed Application for Title or Registration (REG 343)
• Your out-of-state title and registration
• Proof of California insurance
• Valid smog certificate (if required)
• Payment for registration fees

We handle the required VIN verification on-site and issue your plates, tags, and registration card once processed.
