Buying A Vehicle From A US Private Seller - Trip Permit Contact Info for Oregon State

If you are importing a vehicle which you purchased from a private seller in Oregon State, you will have to obtain a Trip Permit to drive your car home to Canada. A Trip Permit gives you permission to operate an unregistered vehicle.

The cost for a 21-day Trip Permit is US$20 and is issued from the Oregon DMV (Department of Motor Vehicles). To find your closest branch visit http://www.oregon.gov/ODOT/DMV/offices/index.shtml

You will need to present the following documents: Driver's License, Bill of Sale, Vehicle Title and Proof of Insurance (you must have a Temporary Insurance Binder from your autoplan agent in Canada).

You must remove any existing plates on the vehicle and place the Trip Permit in the back window, driver's side. This Trip Permit is only valid until you reach your destination in Canada. After that time, to travel to complete modifications, inspections and registration, you MUST have a Canadian Trip Permit issued to you by your autoplan agent.
