Greetings Warriors! I wanted to share how I removed my car from the registration matrix of the corporate State of California. It was very easy to do (“so easy, a caveman can do it”). We know the matrix is full of adhesion contracts. I heard various ideas on how to skirt the system which required forever covering the VIN (never do this); but none included actual removal from the matrix, no one knew how. I didn’t want to skirt it — I wanted totally out. [EDIT: What I mean by removal is cancelation of the contract and not receiving any further offers to contract.] A close friend already had a US DOT number plate, and covered the VIN. So I did some research, which I love to do. [US DOT = United States Department of Transportation (federal)]

First, I obtained a US DOT number and had a plate made, which says at the bottom “Not for Hire”; it is not “registrant only” because I did not know about the US DOT number until after “registrant only” was phased out for new applicants.

Second, when I received the corporate Notice of Registration Renewal (offer to re-up the contract) I returned the corporate state’s property (license plates) to the DMV by priority mail flat rate envelope to its headquarters in Sacramento — not the local branch. I mailed the plates along with an Actual and Constructive Notice letter, the renewal notice with “cancelled” written diagonally across the face and the last registration certificate to a living natural person in charge of registration operations. I located the DMV directory containing this information. The "Reader's Digest" version of my letter: I specifically detailed the DMV codes relating to registration and the various related definitions from the code along with the one that says in the event of a federal definition, the federal trumps the state. Then I buried the coffin with the federal definitions. I told them in light of the fraud, the DMV was directed to update their records to reflect that my VIN refers to a private car that was not involved in commerce and therefore not a type required to be registered. Also the addressee would be held personally liable if I suffered damages at the hands of “revenue officers” due to non-compliance with my instructions. I signed it “All Rights Reserved, 1-308” above the signature.

I keep a copy of the letter and evidence of mailing in my car glove box. Haven’t received any response (not that I expected to) and it has been several months. The DMV here sends out [late] notices [and penalty fees] when you are delinquent with registration. It’s that easy once you know own what you know. I’ve helped two friends (including the one with the DOT plate) do the same. This information is hidden in plain view; you just have to know it’s there. He who does not know his rights has none. I cannot recall where I found bits and pieces of the puzzle posted online that contributed to my education on the how, but I am forever thankful and grateful to those kindred spirits. I hope this helps those who may be searching for a way out. [I researched using what is freely posted on the net as a guide and composed my response. Your state may vary .
