I had to go through all this BS this summer for my boat trailer. It is homemade, and was never registered, so I had to get the guy to come out and put a VIN # on it so I can get a plate for it. I was told at the registers office that if the trailer had been registered before, it could be registered again without getting the VIN. Its kindof a pain in the ass, but all in all, it wasn't to bad to get done. I'm kinda glad I had to get it done, as it will make the trailer easier to identify if its ever stolen. Not only do they put a VIN tag on, they also stamp the trailer in 2 locations, one on the tongue, another underneath somewhere, so its good from a security standpoint. It costs $50 to have it done, but the guy came right to my house, and it is not an inspection of any kind. All he does is tag and stamp it, I think it took him all of 15 min to do it.
