I'm sure in my mind there are several ways to obtain
a Title for a Truck that does not have a Title in Washington State
.
This is how I got Registration
.
Went to local DOL got a trip ticket ($25)
and Vin inspection form ( Not Filled in ) Not good

.
I made an appointment online
.
but like Second Series said
when declaring what it is you are trying to do....
Can be tricky
(abandon vehicle ) is not what you think it means
.
I made the appointment with
"Ownership in doubt"
.
When I arrived to the inspection station
with a
"Certificate of State patrol inspection" Form
(they would not produce it)
(MUST HAVE)
And
Has to be filled out by an agent of D,O,L,
the inspector ask why it was not filled out
I played dumb.
He asked Why I was there?

I said I would like to registered the truck
ask were I got the truck.?
Said it's my father and I would like to get a licence for it....
my father just happen to have a his old business card
inspection went off without a hitch a told him he gave me the truck
had the dad fill out a gift form after about 30 minutes produced the Inspection form with a state patrol stamp on it
Inspector was in a great mood Very helpful we were having a good day both of us
So far so good
.
Go to the local Dept of license
the gal behind the desk was way out of her element......

First she tell's me the truck is not roadworthy
after I show her a picture and tell her the inspector wouldn't have gave me an inspection if he didn't think it was roadworthy.
she then tell's me wanted me to take it to get a "weight inspection"
after I convince her not needed
she goes on about I have to take it to the IRS so they can value it
(for tax purpose) on and on about how I'll need to take it to a dealer to find a retail value
and how the Gift letter from my father wont go because no proof he was the owner.....

After a long long time her supervisor /Boss tell her just to have me
fill out a value statement and a weight statement
after a lot of back and forth ask for $247 &change
I sign a registration and hand me a temp plate
