What to bring

  • signed ownership documents or title
  • Connecticut insurance coverage
  • title and registration application materials
  • payment for title, registration, and tax handling

Likely next steps

  1. Use Connecticut's ownership-transfer process instead of a normal renewal when the title record is changing hands.
  2. Gather the title, insurance, and application materials before the Connecticut DMV transaction.
  3. Complete the ownership and title work first so future registration and renewal happen on the correct Connecticut record.
