I don’t know if this is a normal thing, but fees were not paid on my car for over 10 years. DMV’s estimate was something like 800 dollars in back fees.

I used a private registration company, for the transfer to my name, and registered as non-op. About a year later, I registered my car as operational. Never paid back fees, never had to have a verification, etc. Slightly different situation, but like @geminimotors , the private company was extremely understaffed and helpful.
