    Local US paperwork assistance needed

    Greetings,

    I am a French citizen living in France. I bought a car in the USA, Texas. I have a bill of Sale, Title is 20 years old. Was off the road for 20 years.
    The car is now in a garage in CA for a check up and maintenance.
    I plan to do a 3 weeks road trip (May 2020) with that car through the USA and therefore several states, then export/ship it home (France).

    I have ask several US national organisation, but it seems out of their competencies. (administration same all around the globe, I guess)
    • I need to get a proper Title I assume. How can I get that ? Even a temporary one.
    • Same for the registration
    • Same for car insurance



    Your feedback is highly appreciated.
    Cheers Xavier

    I'd be happy to go to the California DMV this weekend and ask. I can call my insurance company tomorrow as well. Please let me know if I should proceed.

    No done yet Massimo, it is a long and difficult process to get a car registered and insured as a foreigner.

    But for sure if it is happening, I will keep you posted :-)

    To register (and insure)it in your own name a CA drivers license is most likely required.

    Checked today with my insurance company (State Farm). They do not issue short term insurance but they offered a name of a broker to call. I will call them tomorrow plus I will also call AAA. Pending trip to DMV on Saturday.

    Just buy 1 year insurance policy and pay it monthly then cancel it when you are done.
