If you are registering a vehicle that was previously registered and titled to an immediate family member (mother, father, wife, husband, civil union partner, daughter, son, sister, brother), you must proceed to your local DMV Hub Office or Limited Service Office and provide the following:

• Connecticut Certificate of Title showing assignment of ownership and indicating release of all liens (if any).  A Title is not required on vehicles manufactured prior to 1981. You would be designated as the purchaser, and your immediate family member designated as the seller.
• Provide the old registration certificate (if available).
• Provide a current Connecticut Insurance Card, in your name, for the vehicle.
• Completed Application for Registration and Certificate of Title (Form H-13). Download the form, fill out online, and print to bring with you. You would be designated as the purchaser, and your immediate family member designated as the seller.
• Identification is required to register a vehicle. Please see list of Acceptable Forms of Identification. 
• A permission letter from the immediate family member is required to keep the same plates.
