There are no temporary tags, per se, but you can run with temps from your home state until they expire. If you are moving to California, you must begin the registration process within 10 days. If you want to register an out-of-state vehicle, you must get it titled in your home state first.

When you do begin the registration process, you will receive a temporary registration in the form of a little red piece of paper that you tape to your back window. It is good until the last day of the month indicated on the paper, usually one or two months. Then you must smog it to get your permanent tags.

You simply go to the dealership, fill out the necessary paperwork, then buy it. If you're buying it from a dealership, they'll normally process the registration, title, and tags for you.

When you buy a used car from an individual how do you get a temporary tag?

Go the the motor vehicle department. They sell temp tags from 10 to 60 days. I could be wrong about the amount of days, but that is where you'll get the temp tags. (Different user): I believe that if you purchase a car from an individual/private seller, temporary tags will not be required. You'll likely go to the department of motor vehicles, file paperwork, pay fee's (title, tax, tags) (110-160), and receive a "hard" license plate of common issuance. If you special order a license tag, request a special emblem/specialized group tag, or live in a town where a "FULL SERVICE DMV" is not available, then the probable cause of a temporary tag may play into effect.
