PTI & Trailer Registration
Permanent Trailer Identification (PTI) Services
Registering or transferring a trailer under California's Permanent Trailer Identification program? We handle eligible PTI transactions and the trailer registration paperwork that comes with them.
- Licensed by the California DMV · OL #82554
- BBB accredited business
- Se habla español
Bring the trailer's paperwork even if it is old or incomplete — that is usually workable.
VYN is a private registration service, not a DMV office. We are licensed by the California DMV as a registration service (Occupational License #82554) and we do the paperwork for you. Government fees are set by the DMV and are separate from our service fee.
What we can help with
Trailers run on their own registration program, which is why the usual vehicle paperwork does not quite fit.
- PTI registration
- Trailer ownership transfers
- Replacement PTI documents
- Trailer VIN verification when applicable
- Registration corrections
- Out-of-state trailer transactions
How it works
We check the record
We look at what the DMV is asking for on your vehicle and tell you exactly which documents to bring.
We complete the PTI transaction
We file the right trailer transaction so the PTI record and your paperwork match.
What to bring
- The trailer's title or ownership documents
- The bill of sale, if you bought it
- Any existing registration paperwork
- Valid identification
Not sure?
Homemade and older trailers often have gaps in their paperwork. That is common and usually fixable — call and we will tell you how.
Fees and requirements vary. Eligibility, government fees and processing time depend on the vehicle record and the transaction. We confirm your exact situation before anything is filed.
What it costs
Two separate numbers, and we never blend them into one.
Our service fee
What VYN charges to handle the transaction for you. We quote it before anything is filed, so you always know it up front. Call and we will give you the number in a minute — free, no obligation.
DMV fees
Set by the state, not by us. They depend on your vehicle and on the transaction, and they are paid to the DMV. We show you the exact amount, always separate from our fee.
