NewBDR,

I scratched my head on that one too. There are two ways to go, depending whether or not you apply for plates at the same time you do the MV1- and MV426B.

If you get plates at the same time, you will need a copy of the insurance card or a copy of the policy binder, send a copy of both sides of the card/binder to be safe. I used a specialty insurer, so they gave me a card using the chassis serial number (not the PA VIN), state farm may want a 17 digit VIN to process it - maybe the agent can help you with that - maybe not.

Otherwise, do the MV-1 and MV-426B first, once you get those back you will have a PA title and PA VIN plate that you attach to the firewall. Next, get the insurance using the PA issued VIN and go to a notary for plates.

BTW, make sure you trailer it to the inspection station for the inspections - if you get stopped without plates, VIN and insurance it could be very big trouble. You need to do the inspection twice, once for the MV-426B, then again after the all the paperwork is done including the plates. Use the same mechanic for both.

Try to find someone that has done SPCON inspections before, if possible, and not just trailers (also classified as SPCON).
