Yes, NJ DMV is right out of the stone age. Since the "Provincial Registration" did not say "Title" , NJ would not consider it a title.

Here's an example: NJ DMV required an original or carbon copy of the US Customs entry form. Well, the US Customs uses a computer generated form and has not used carbon paper for approximately 25 years. So, the NJ "Foreign Title Unit" refused to accept the computer generated form and no matter what I told them explaining the facts, they would respond in a perfect robotic voice: "We require an original or a carbon copy, Sir." I had to contact the importing company and they had to hand carry a printed out copy to the Niagara Falls border crossing and have an embossed entry stamp placed on the form. And of course US Customs required a 24 hour waiting period for the return of the document to the importer.

Oh, and in NJ everything involving a foreign vehicle is done by mail. Nothing in person. So they would send a little 3x5 card indicating you were missing one item. I would supply them with the item and then two weeks later I'd get another card that said I was missing another item. It seems that they would not review the entire document package and make one list of missing items, instead they would stop at the first missing document and send a card. Just plain stupid. And keep in mind that this was after I sent them every item on the initial list of documents they requested.

The car got here in two weeks from British Columbia. It took more than three months to get a title here in NJ.
