They usually take care of me faster than most fast food restaurants.
No state inspection required for under 4000 GW trailers that do not have brakes. Title, registration and PERMANENT plates were not cheap, about $160, but that is the end of fees and charges forever.

Also any trailer with a brake axle needs to be inspected.
My little trailer started out as a HF trailer, it had a vin but it was covered by a leveling jack and the guy I bought it from is from alaska so it was never registered (not required). Since I didn't have a vin it was a "home made" trailer.
I also lived in hamton and if you have to go to the DMV in hampton for anything you might as well wright the entire day.
