How to Obtain a One Trip Permit

If you are planning to take a vehicle out of California, obtaining a One Trip Permit is essential. This guide will help you understand the steps involved in completing this process effectively.

Step 1: Complete the Permit with Lessee's Information

The first step in obtaining your One Trip Permit is to fill it out with the lessee's information. The lessee is defined as the individual who will be taking delivery of the vehicle. Make sure that all required fields are filled accurately to avoid any delays.

Step 2: Ensure Customer Signature

If the vehicle is being driven out of state, it’s crucial that the customer also signs the permit. Their signature confirms their agreement and acknowledgment regarding taking responsibility for driving the vehicle outside California.

Important Note:

If there is no one designated to drive the vehicle out of California, then applying for a One Trip Permit may not be necessary. In such cases, simply confirm who will be responsible for driving before proceeding further.

Final Steps

• Verify Driver Details: Always double-check and confirm who will be driving before finalizing your application for a permit.
• No Driving Out of State? If no driver has been assigned or if plans change regarding traveling outside California, reconsider whether you need to apply for this permit at all.

This straightforward approach ensures that you meet all requirements while minimizing unnecessary paperwork when transporting vehicles across state lines. By following these steps carefully, you'll ensure compliance with regulations while facilitating an efficient transfer process.
