What year is the sled?? I forget what year it started, but Pa issues titles with snowmobiles so if they have the title for the snowmobile you may not need the registration for the sled the title should be more than enough to get the sled registered in N.Y. When I registered my snowmobile for a N.Y. registration I needed a copy of my insurance, copy of my Pa title and I think my pa registration. I'll look tomorrow and see if I can find the correct info I needed for registering a Pa snowmobile in N.Y.

 

The guys has stated that he has no paperwork for it and never received any from the PO. This is my concern, if he had a title I wouldn't be worried as much.

 

You can ask the DMV, but i think all you need is a signed receipt and your ID. Explain to them it was never registered(private use only) in PA.

 

Might need to pay for a title search or some such crap

 

Sorry, I didn't answer your question.. it's a 2000

Snowmobile Registration, Titling, and Insurance

Copy & paste from the link above:

SNOWMOBILE TITLES
All snowmobiles in Pennsylvania must have a title issued by DCNR. The cost of a title is $22.50. The exceptions to this requirement are for:

Snowmobiles bought or acquired prior to October 23, 2001
Snowmobiles owned and used by a federal, state, or local government body
Snowmobiles owned by a dealer before and until sale
Snowmobiles owned by a nonresident
Snowmobiles owned by a Pennsylvania resident, but registered and used in another state


I would be making a phone call to the DMV and asking what all you need to register the sled in N.Y. from Pa.....

 

if it hasn't been registered in the last three years its very easy to do, there is two forms you need to fill out, pencil scratch of the vin or time stamped pic, report from sheriff or state police saying it is not stolen.

 

I did check the DMV website and look around.. seems like it's very possible. If I have owned it for over a year (I'll just have the owner backdate me a receipt) then I only need to present a couple forms, one of which I need to have him fill out, the transfer of ownership form. This doesn't look that bad at all but, I guess it's up to the discretion of the person at the DMV office so that is a bit worry some.. plus it's a non-transferable registration untill Albany approves it and hopefully send me a transferable registration.

 

Ny registration is what ny issued instead of titles. Def need to get notarized bill of sale.

 

You are wrong there, do not even need a bill of sale actually, all he needs is what I said.
