If you're going to drive the vehicle, DMV can issue you temporary plates, but you still have to provide the required insurance for that state. If you're only going a short distance, like across town, ask a dealer if they'll come move it for you, using one of their dealer plates, for a small charge

Take the current plates off another car, stick them on the unregistered car, make sure there's no cops around, move the car, then get on with your life. If a cop does see your car, don't do anything stupid. Ignore the cop and drive normal. I would suggest that you do it in the middle of the night when you can see the lights of other cars, and that will give you plenty of time to pull off the road and hide if you see anyone. Give him a reason to pull you over and you're dead in the water. Take back streets, drive by the book. Go directly from where you are to where you need to go, then park the car, switch the plates back, and don't ever do it again. I am not one to embrace a lot of legal mumbo jumbo like permits when all that has to be done is one simple thing like move one car one time.

If you would like to do it LEGALLY, yes there is (in California). You could purchase a One Trip Permit. It costs $16, and it allows you to drive the vehicle from one location to another (including to out of state) using one trip. Or, yeah, you could try to get away with just moving it, and take your chances.
Good Luck.

i would just take my chances, i'm sure a cop wouldnt give you too much trouble if he knew the curcumstances, but then again, he might be a bit gungho and write you a ticket, but i would just throw the ticket out, and if the car was fast enough i wouldnt pull over in the first place, if i were you of course, but im not you so, i would go get a permit.

To get a temporary 'in-transit" plate you generally need to register the car in the state in which you bought it. This usually allows 30 days transit to the state in which you will register it (usually your home state where your license is issued.
