    ^^^ I said in the main part that you need to visit a DMV and get exporting papers , its $15 US.

    And no you cant throw a plate on it from Alberta.

    ^^ Yup , its normal there in the US , when they buy new cars they dont get plates for a few weeks . You just get a DMV pass.

    question:
    what if the car is being brought in via train or something like that?

    what if it has no motor?

    Via train would be pretty much the same process , call ahead, that the car is going to be crossing the boarder , I guess you would pay a broker. Hrmm no Engine... I know there is a different rule for that - Possibly a parts car? .. Ill look into it.

    Just go to the local DMV like I said before , it should cover you via Govt coverage. Im not sure how much coverage it gives but it should be enough. When I got to AB I went and got Insurance right away.

    I didn't have a problem with getting insured on the vehicle. All I did was provide make, model, MY, and VIN to the insurance company. I was insured on the vehicle before I even went to pick it up. They didn't even ask for the bill of sale. Worst come to worst, one could just fax a Bill of Sale to the insurance company the second you take possession of the car.

    What you purchase at the DMV isn't insurance. It's a temporay usage pass; a "temporary license plate" for transit.
