Car Forum / Driving, Maintenance, Tuning / Driving / April 2006Driving through US with temporary car registration..
Hello, I'll be buying a car in another province in Canada and driving it back through the U.S. to my home province with a temporary registration permit. This means that the car will not have any plates in place and will only have a temporary paper permit placed on the front window. To me, this seems somewhat risky to drive long distances, through two countries with no plates. Am I more likely to get stopped or hassled at the border in this situation? Has anyone done this before and have you had any problems? Dave It might be do-able. But when I hear stories of people who wanted to do the same trip with a properly registered car and were refused entry into the US, makes me wonder if it would be such a great idea, > Hello, > [quoted text clipped - 12 lines] > > Dave >It might be do-able.

However, if you're a semi-retarded 17 year old who wants to get a machine gun and some amo - don't worry, the system is set up to ensure you can fulfill your dreams.

I would beleive the best thing to do is call US Customs, and the State Police in the States you will travel through. Personally, I think there won't be a problem as long as all paperwork is available, in order, and with the proper insurance. > I would beleive the best thing to do is call US Customs, and the State > Police in the States you will travel through. > > Personally, I think there won't be a problem as long as all paperwork > is available, in order, and with the proper insurance. I agree. The best thing for the OP to do is contact the appropriate government authorities to ask. |
