Instead register it in Maine, without ever leaving your own state , then if you still want to have a local plate take your Maine reg and plate to your nearest DMV and transfer it to the state you live in, a much easier thing to do, since the trailer is already on the road and certified in another state.
Much like the way most states have a whole procedure to getting a drivers license, but a transfer from another state is just a matter of paperwork and money, usually not a written and road test.
Thank You!

In Oregon you would still have to bring the trailer to the DMV for an inspection after you got the paperwork and if it doesn't have a VIN number then you can run into other issues. Much easier to just do it right with receipts and in Oregon instead of the extra cost of getting papers from another state.
