ONE TRIP MOVING PERMITS
According to the California DMV:
In lieu of California registration, you can get a one trip permit (for a fee) to move a vehicle (California Vehicle Code (CVC) §4003):
-
When unladen, for one continuous trip from a place within California to a place in or outside California or from outside California to a place in California (by the most direct route).
-
For participation as a vehicular float or display in a lawful parade or exhibition for one round trip from one place to another. The total round trip cannot exceed 100 miles and must be completed within 60 days.
A one trip permit is also valid for a nonresident:
-
To move a newly purchased trailer coach into California.
-
Member of the armed forces to move an unregistered trailer coach they own into, out of, or within California.
A one trip permit cannot be used to move a crane or trailer coach owned by a California resident.
Issuing a one trip permit doesn’t affect California tax requirements.
Forbidden Uses—A REG 402T is not valid for:
-
Operation of a loaded commercial vehicle, unless the vehicle is being moved to participate in a parade or display.
-
Travel by a circuitous or indirect route. Caution the applicant that the trip must be made by the most direct route.
