How to Register a Travel Trailer

Registering a travel trailer is done through your state's Department of Motor Vehicles or equivalent. The process is much the same as registering an automobile, requiring title, proof of insurance and ID. Each state has its own form and particular rules for travel trailers. That said, the process follows the same formula for each state. You need to go to the DMV or bureau for the initial registration of the trailer.
