Yeah, every state is different, but for most you'd go to the local office where you buy your license plates, and ask them. Most will require a "safety" inspection sticker that proves it has properly-operating lights, reflectors, tires, brakes (if required), hitch, breakaway chains, etc. Then maybe a certification from a local LEO to be sure it's not stolen and that the VIN or other ID matches the title application paperwork. That's about it.
I have one homemade trailer that began life as a 1937 Chevy rear axle and leaf springs. Add a 4' x 8' x 3/16" plate steel floor and 4' plywood sideboards surrounded by 2" angle iron, and ramp tailgate also made of plywood and angle iron, and I have a great little trash hauler. I first registered it in Colorado, and with just a safety inspection and a county sheriff deputy's inspection and I soon had a title and plates. I moved to Texas 15 years ago, and they accepted the Colorado title and transferred it to a Texas title with no questions.
