To confirm the availability of transit tags(temp tags) go to the website of that states department motor vehicle, and get the phone number and CALL and ask, since the websites themselves dont explain everything. You don not have to be a dealer in order to get temp tags as far as i know. I know NJ does issue these type of in-transit tags.
I had a guy from FL fly up here to NJ to buy my old ford truck, he took the bus from newark to my place, got the title, spelt IN the truck overnight, then took a bus to the DMV in englewood, got transit tags and then drove it back to FL.
