If that be the case, and I'm sure it is... Then how do you get license
plates for a trailer with no title? and if you sell the trailor, how
does the new owner get the trailer put in his/her name?




You just present a bill of sale at the registry. If the trailer is new,
they also take the certificate of origin.
Unless you ask for one, they don't require you to apply for a title.

When you sell it within MA, again all you need is a bill of sale. I
requested (and paid for) titles just in case I ever sold them to someone in
a state that requires titles.

Trailers over 3000 lb GVW have to be titled. I suppose in a while that
will be extended to all trailers.
Until fairly recently, you used to be able to register cars that were more
than XX years old without a title, just a bill of sale. They changed that
so now you have to have a title which can present potential problems for
someone like me who enjoys buying old cars. Without a title you simply
cannot register a motor vehicle here anymore.
