How do you register this?

To register a homemade trailer

You will need the following:

 

Proof of identification;

Original receipts/titles for all parts used;

A notarized statement containing:

construction details;

parts and material used; and

the date and location where parts were purchased (If parts were taken from another trailer/vehicle, you must list the VIN from each vehicle).

A certified weight slip:

If the trailer weighs more than 2,500 lbs. (unladen), it must also be titled.

Color photographs showing all angles of trailer.

A Vehicle Registration Application (Form BA-49 found only at motor vehicle agencies).

Completed Application for Certificate of Title for Home-Made Trailer (Form OS/SS-32).

Completed Universal Title Application (Form OS/SS-UTA)

Payment fee for registration (Code 22)

Payment fee for titling (if applicable)

$60 for a standard vehicle.

$85 for a financed vehicle with one lien.

$110 for a finance vehicle with two liens.

The MVC accepts American Express® card, Visa® card, MasterCard® card, check, money order or cash.

The N.J.S.A. 39:3-.8 limits vehicles of this type to the following dimensions: 

 

Width: 96 inches

Height: 13 feet, 6 inches

Length (single vehicle): 35 feet

Length (semi-trailer and towing vehicle): 48 feet

Length (trailer and towing vehicle): 58 feet

When figuring any dimension, safety equipment items (such as mirrors or lights) are not included if they do not exceed the overall limitations.

If the gross vehicle weight rating (GVWR) (including load) is more than 3,000 lbs. or 40% of the towing vehicle's gross weight, the trailer must be equipped with brakes.

The problem lies in registering vs titling. Just reg on under 2500lbs, title and reg over 2500lbs

If it's not 2500 lbs then it is just registered?

sounds that way according to mghunter. which has answered my question as well. my trailer does not have a title. its just registered with a plate. 

you shouldnt have a problem getting your homemade trailer registered. just be ready to draw a picture of it. the first time i did this i looked at the lady behind desk in disbelief. i thought i was on one of those hidden camera shows lol. i couldnt believe just drawing a picture would get my trailer registered especially in this state. 

and my picture looked like something from a 1st grade art class.
