Understanding Mileage Reporting for Trailers

what do I put for miles on 262 if trailers don’t have miles?

Guidelines for Completing the REG 262 Form for Trailers

When filling out the REG 262 form, it is essential to understand how to handle mileage entries, especially when dealing with trailers. Below are detailed instructions and tips to ensure that your submission is accurate.

Mileage Entry for Trailers

Trailers do not require mileage information on the REG 262 form since they typically do not have odometers. You can:

  • Leave the mileage section blank.
  • If necessary, indicate "N/A" in that section.

Signing Authority for Mileage Updates

If you need to update the miles listed on a REG 262 form, you may sign on behalf of the Lessor. This action will allow you to e-file with corrected mileage reflected appropriately in Section 262.

Correcting Incorrect Mileage Entries

If there has been an error regarding mileage entry on a digital version of the FORM (NN262), here are two options available:

  1. Obtain a New Signed Form: Acquire a new signed REG 262 form containing accurate mileage information.
  2. Create a New R/S: Void any existing registration statement and create a new one incorporating all original details but ensuring it includes correct mileage. This process generates fresh documents reflecting accurate data.

Error Handling Process

The original paperwork should accurately reflect any reported odometer readings—specifically noting if it shows “262” miles correctly. If discrepancies arise between what’s listed on titles versus those recorded in forms like REG 262, take immediate steps by sending relevant documentation such as work orders or other proofs directly to your DMV field office or SPU for proper processing.

Avoiding Future Discrepancies

The differences between title mileages and those entered incorrectly often stem from human errors during data entry or miscommunication among involved parties during registration processes. To prevent similar issues moving forward, always double-check that all submitted information aligns across every document associated with vehicle registration.
