I had taken my father's car to California and had it titled/registered/tagged there in January 2011.

Now, I'm giving him the vehicle back (September 2011) since I will no longer be living in the USA.

What will he need to do as far as title/registration/inspections/emission?

I'm hoping we wont have to pay a lot of money all over again since it hasn't even been a year since I had the car titled/registered/tagged in Cali. Is gifting the best option? Maybe sell him the car for a $1?

Does anyone have ideas on lowering costs or legally dismissing inspection/emissions? (Since this will be the second time the car is registered/titled with the same person in the same state)

Any help is appreciated as I will not be able to talk with someone at the DMV in Maryland for a while.

Thank you.

Out of state cars, even if gifted or sold for $1, have to go through the whole inspection/registration process. I know of no exemption for the turn around you described.

If you're going away for work/military why don't you see if there may be an exemption for him to be the caretaker while you're overseas and just keep it in your name. Or he just keeps it for you titled in CA.
