So i’m in the process of finalizing a sale of my car… the person who would be buying it is located in Ontario. Now he’s aware all everything he has to do with making it “legal” for canada etc, but the only thing I don’t understand is he keeps asking about a “trip permit”, i assume like our temp tags. NYS dmv site lists this:
**Can I get a temporary registration to move a vehicle within NYS or to another state?**
The NYSDMV does not issue temporary registrations. The DMV issues an in-transit permit (MV-639ITP) that you can use to move a vehicle from one location in NYS to another location to register it. An in-transit permit is a paper permit that you display in the rear window of the vehicle.
The DMV issues an in-transit permit **only** for a vehicle that you **recently** purchased or received. You **cannot** use an in-transit permit to **replace a current registration,** a registration that expired within the last year, or to **extend a registration**. Use the current registration or renew the registration if it expired within the last year.
You **cannot** renew an in-transit permit. You **cannot** get a second in-transit permit if the first in-transit permit for your vehicle expires.
There are two types of in-transit permit:
- **Intrastate In-Transit Permit** – The permit is valid for 30 days and allows you to transport a vehicle from one location **in NYS to another location in NYS**. For example, you need an intrastate in-transit permit if you buy a vehicle from a seller in another part of NYS and you need to transport the vehicle to your home before you register it. The fee is $10.
- **Interstate In-Transit Permit** – The permit is valid for 30 days and allows you to transport a vehicle **from New York State to another jurisdiction** to register it. For example, you need an interstate in-transit permit if you buy a vehicle in NYS, but you reside in another state or you move to another state, and you plan to register the vehicle in the other state. The fee is $10.
- the name and address of the agent, broker, or producer
- the name of the insurance company,
- the policy number and expiration date,
- the effective date of the policy,
- the name and address of the insured person,
- information about your vehicle that includes the VIN, make, and model.
- Sales Tax — [Proof of sales tax payment or purchase price](http://www.nysdmv.com/register.htm#prooftax) to pay the tax at the DMV office.
- Title Certificate Fees — Pay the title certificate fee of $50.00, plus an additional $5.00 for each lienholder listed on the title certificate.
- Vehicle Registration — After you move the vehicle to the final location in NYS, apply for a registration at a DMV office. Use [form MV-82](http://www.nysdmv.com/forms.htm#mv82). Pay the fees for the registration documents and vehicle plates. The DMV then issues your vehicle plates and registration documents to you.
So going by that, does HE apply for it, or do I ? He keeps saying that I have to, but I would assume he has to take care of it since he’s the one transporting the car?

Well that’s why you make him pay you in US currency. It’s his problem for trying to purchase something across the border, not yours. It shouldn’t have any added tasks on your part whatsoever.
