California Motorcycle registration issue

[Otwobme]

being in the military for 12 years, i have had a licences from WI, while living in another State like TX, VA, AK. being in the military allows this. you don't necessarily know were your going to be from year to year. the cost guard is part of the armed forces. not sure if she could get the bike put in his name... or just re-register it in VA and send her the tags. and allow her to be an authorized rider on your insurance.

good luck.

I don't think the military angle applies in this case. I believe it only applies if you owned the vehicle prior to moving to California. My daughter still has Virginia plates on her car.

"Registered by you in the state of your last active military service outside California."

It's all so silly. She wanted the bike to REDUCE her carbon footprint, yet she's not allowed to have it. I'll talk to her about our options, but it's not looking good at this point.

Thanks, guys!

retired AF here. Once when processing in to a new base, a AF lawyer, who was also in the group asked to speak when vehicle registration came up.

He said, its called The 3 State Rule

'If you have a drivers license from one state,

A vehicle registered in a second state,

and you are driving it in the third state, (your new station) over 30 days,

you have violated the 3 State Rule.

sorry for going , but it was an opportune time to pass this tidbit of military life on
