Many years ago-maybe '02ish-my dad bought a car(1998 Lincoln Continental-a great car) from one of my grandfather's neighbors in NC. He was and still is a KY resident.
We went down to the county DMV and walked out a few minutes later with a 3-day temp tag for about $5. I don't remember how the insurance worked in ti-he may have called the agent, added the car, and had them fax proof to the DMV, or he may have showed proof from the car we drove down along with the dated bill of sale to show that it was covered under the 30-day new purchase provision. Knowing him, I'd guess a faxed proof. That got us back to Kentucky, where he could then start with the even more arduous process of getting the title transferred and the car licensed in KY.
