What do I need to register a car in CA that I received as a gift from a relative from Texas?

Just the title and the bill of sale. You'll have to go to the tax office and the DMV.

When I registered my car here in California after I moved from Georgia, I needed proof of insurance, my driver's license, the SMOG check, and the car registration. I did NOT need my bill of sale or to go to any tax office, but maybe the DMV guy just fellin love with me at first site and that why I did not need bill of sales, blueprints, and three men and a baby.

the title, the bill of sale showing it was a gift, current insurance and inspection certificate.

Don't forget your check book.

The Texas Title signed by both you and your relative, Form 343(application for title and registration),Form 256(statement of facts ) because you received the vehicle as a gift and must declare the current market value...these forms can be downloaded from the DMV website,a vehicle verification/inspection will be done at the DMV and finally a smog check(unless the vehicle is diesel or hybrid)...just make sure that you complete the smog test first before anything else to avoid a subsequent trip back to the DMV and be prepared to surrender the texas plates that are currently on the vehicle...and yes DMV accepts debit/atm cards now...goodluck!

Bill of Sale is important with the $ amount on it (free gift) & signed by owner. Also, the signed over title to you.

Take the 2 documents to vehicle registration at the CA court house and to title section to have it changed to you.

Bill of sale, a clear title (signed properly and accurately), the last tag receipt (in some cases), proof of insurance (in some states), a valid drivers license, and an current inspection (depending on the state). Check with your local DMV.

sales receipt and title to the vehicle and go to the Secretary of State in CA.
