I want to go into business manufacturing trailers and/or semitrailers, what must I do to legally operate as a trailer/semitrailer manufacturer?
In order to qualify as a trailer and/or semitrailer manufacturer, the person or firm must meet the definition of a “manufacturer.” A “manufacturer” is a person or firm engaged in the business of manufacturing or assembling vehicles for resale using all new component parts. If a vehicle is assembled using any used component parts (motor, frame, or body), then the person or firm assembling the vehicle is not a manufacturer. A trailer and/or semitrailer manufacturer must not assemble their vehicles with a used frame or body. If the definition of manufacturer describes your business, you should complete a Form VTR-132 (Trailer and/or Semitrailer Manufacturer Certification) and submit it to your nearest Vehicle Titles and Registration Division Regional Office. You will be mailed a letter that provides contact information for Manufacturers Certificates of Origin, vehicle identification number formatting, safety, and registering as a business.
