Louisiana state police does it. They will stamp a serial number number on it and register it after looking it over for safety requirements.

I did it a long time ago and don’t remember the exact process. There was a special location i had to go to to get it done, but it was in local area of Lake Charles.

Note: 20 years ago so things may have changed

Edit: this link should help some LINK

I did this a long time ago, but recall going by a State Police troop for an inspection. I showed them photos of in progress work and receipts from materials. They stamped the serial/vin # and I think gave me some paperwork to bring to the DMV.

Then you didn’t legally buy it. He will have to go to DMV and get a duplicate title so that he can convey it to you. Taxes on sale price will have to be paid.

Any auto title company or DMV location should be able to request it for him.
