Getting insurance can be done online in about 5 minutes and the registration at the DMV equivalent is your problem (as the buyer) afterwards and can be done anytime in the next 2 weeks.

I can see that happening for second-hand cars but not for new cars that have to be issued new plates. But maybe things work differently in other countries. “Europe” is not really one place.

You can usually immediately get temporary transfer plates that’ll be valid for a month everywhere(?) in the EU.

I got that kind of temporary plates once... at the DMV. It was quick, but they didn’t materialize magically when I needed them. Maybe it’s easier now, though.

I’ve seen people use third party services that work with the DMV to make them materialize magically.

What a time to be alive!
