In the United States, each of the 48 states has its own set of procedures for titling and registering overseas imported vehicles. However, there is a common requirement among all state Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) offices: the need for evidence that the vehicle was imported and that an entry was filed with U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP).

To fulfil this requirement, it is crucial to keep a copy of your stamped CBP 7501 Entry Summary, as it serves as proof of filing with CBP. You will need to present this document to the DMV when registering your imported vehicle.

When dealing with the DMV, the following documents are typically required:

1. Bill of Sale / Purchase Contract
2. Photo ID
3. Photo of the VIN/serial number
4. US Import documents, including the Department of Transportation (DOT) and Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Declarations, as well as the Stamped CBP 7501 Entry Summary.

It’s important to note that many DMVs have dedicated departments that specialize in handling out-of-state and imported vehicles. If you encounter any difficulties or require specific information, it is advisable to inquire about the DMV’s Out of State and Imported Vehicles department and request to speak with someone knowledgeable in this area.

Please keep in mind that the requirements and procedures may vary from state to state. For the most accurate and up-to-date information, it is crucial to consult the DMV of the state where you plan to title and register your imported vehicle. By following the guidelines and providing the necessary documents, you can ensure a smooth titling and registration process for your overseas imported vehicle.
