If the car is registered in someone else's name in another state, you have to pay the excise tax when you register it in DC if the name on the title is changing. It doesn't matter if it's a family member. The family member tax exemption only applies when it's changing ownership between two DC residents.

If the car is already in your name when you register it in DC, you don't pay the excise tax.
