If you’re doing anything make sure you have multiple forms of ID, drivers license, health cards, credit cards, social security card, or passport. Very efficient systems in place.

I know everyone dreads the idea of going to the DMV- long lines, missing paperwork, etc. However, this Troy location is fast and friendly. The key is to arrive when they open and you will be on your way within fifteen minutes. The overflow parking lot is great when the county building is busy.

Thanks! Your review is awaiting moderation.

I think your smartest bet would be to go to the DMV website and look up procedures & requirements and then download & print any corresponding DMV Forms you will need to fill out and turn in. If the website doesn't help or you're not tech savvy then I would just go the old fashion route and give your local DMV a call so you can ask someone that works there & may have the experience to resolve your issue, can answer any other questions you may think of, and/or give you a list of any other proof, documentations, or DMV forms that you will need to register your boat & trailer. Sorry I couldn't directly answer your question... I Atleast wanted to give you an idea or 2. Good Luck!
