8.045 Vehicle Being Exported by Dealer

A dealer who is exporting a vehicle to another country by ship or air is required to have a title in the name of the dealership.

• A REG 32 must be presented in person at a DMV office with the title and license plates when a dealer is exporting a vehicle.
• The dealer, as registered owner when the title is issued, must have acceptable photo identification, and sign the REG 32.
• A title endorsed to the dealer, a Salvage Certificate, and Replacement for Duplicate or Transfer of Title (REG 227) form, and an acquisition bill of sale are not acceptable as a clear title.

The dealer must:

• Submit the title to transfer the vehicle into the name of the dealership.
• Remove the license plates from the vehicle and submit them to DMV with the transfer application.
• Complete a REG 256 indicating that the vehicle will be exported in the name of the dealership.
• After the title is issued, the dealer must appear in person with title and the completed REG 32.
