After private party purchase in CA can I drive the car without license plates?
In CA I purchased a car that is registered in OH and seller kept his
personalized license plates, so I have no plates on the car right now. Seller
lives in CA but never transferred registration to CA and never smogged the
car. Now waiting for title from bank after Autopay pays off his loan. They said
can take up to 30 days to get title. I have bill of sale in my possession. I
cannot go to DMV and get plates right now because technically car is
registered in OH so I think I have to wait for the title before CA DMV can help
me. Can I drive the car without plates for now?
