    Default Expired Registration Non-Use for 5 Years Transfer

    My question involves vehicle registration or title in the state of: California

    My sister left the country and stored her car in a garage for 5-years, but did not pay registration or file a non-operation notice. My sister would now like to transfer title to me in California.

    1. Does she need to pay 5-years of registration + penalties? I see at www.dmv.ca.gov a mention of 160% at 2-years, but nothing beyond.

    2. What is needed to do the transfer, especially since she also lost her title and is not in this country?

    Default Re: Expired Registration Non-Use for 5 Years Transfer

    You're speaking of this? Read the associated statute, CVC 9554, here. The statute is consistent with the table, indicating that the penalty doesn't increase beyond the two year point; but note that the penalty applies separately to each year's late/non-registration.

    She can request a duplicate title.

    If the vehicle has in fact been sitting idle for five years, it will likely take a lot of work to get it running.
