If you have your receipted Schedule 1 for the previous year’s taxable period, in this case, July 1, 2010 through June 30, 2011, states can accept it as proof of payment.

Registering Your Newly Acquired Vehicle
States must register newly acquired heavy highway use vehicles without proof of tax payment if:

• you present the original or a photocopy of a bill of sale showing that the vehicle was purchased by the owner during the 150 days before the date the state received the application for registration; and,
• the vehicle has not been registered in any state subsequent to the data of purchase.
