It’s gotten even easier in California since COVID. There are companies that are registered agents of the DMV — they will come to your house do the VIN verification, fill out your paperwork, collect your sales tax and give you a plate/registration sticker right there on the spot. I’ve done it for the last 2 out of state cars and will never go back to in-person DMV if I can help it.
AAA can even do it, if the sale is between private parties. But if you buy from an out-of-state dealer, they won't do it. I just went through this.

I can get in and out of my local Pasadena DMV in 8 minutes. Its' crazy how they've streamlined it.
Have all paperwork ready and your check already filled out.
