    You need to go to DMV to get a new title and registration. You will also need to show them the bill of sale and proof of insurance. If it needs to be inspected, they will give you a temporary inspection sticker (In New York, it's valid for 10 days.) The cost of a registration is based on the vehicles's weight in many states. If you bought it from an individual, you will need to pay sales tax at the DMV when you register it. The percentage will be the sales tax percentage where your live.

    If you bought it from a dealership, they usually can take care of all the paperwork and you would pay them the sales taxes and DMV fees.

    You need insurance and you need to register the car. At the DMV all you need is the title (if you paid in full) or the registration and Bill Of Sale (if you took out a loan).

    In most jurisdictions you need to pay taxes on the car and pay for the title work and registration fees. Expect those fees to run approximately 10% of the price of the vehicle.

    Insurance needs to be secured before you go the the DMV and you can get that at any reliable insurance agency.
