Some states (e.g., Ohio, Texas) require the buyer to register within 30 days. Driving without registration or plates (in states where seller retains plates) may be illegal immediately after the sale.

Idaho lien-release procedure for liened farm equipment sales
If the farm equipment carries an active lien, the seller cannot transfer clean title to the buyer until the lien is released. Idaho handles this through a documented sequence that the lienholder, seller, and buyer must complete in order. Skipping a step often means the new title is issued with the lien still noted, blocking resale.
Obtain Form ITD 3367 from the Idaho Transportation Department or the lienholder.
Lienholder completes and signs ITD 3367 releasing the lien.
Submit ITD 3367 with the existing title and title application at a county DMV office.
Pay the title fee and receive a clean Idaho title.
Form reference: ITD 3367 is the Idaho document used to clear a lien on a farm equipment title before a Caribou County same-day sale transfer can be recorded.
