My bro lives overseas and is prob going to move back here in the next yr or so. he keeps visiting and wants to buy a car. how do you go about registering and insuring a car if you don't have a permanent address yet? Sounds like he just wants to leave it at friends houses between visits. 

 

I didn't think you could register a car if you cant prove you live at the address and then there is the whole insuring it where its at for the largest amount of time thing?

I believe he could buy it no problem..and be the legal owner..

Just need the name and address for registered keeper.. 

 

But I am sure more knowledgeable will give more detailed..

Probably best if he makes you the keeper and insures it for you both?
