But is your brother not transferring a tag from another car? That really makes it easier. Then all you have to do is turn in the signed title, (the Application for Title is filled out by the clerk at the office) pay the money and put the transferred tag on the car.

From the NY DMV website
"To sell or give your vehicle as a gift, provide the new owner with the proofs and the documents described below:
-Proof of ownership
-Provide the new owner with acceptable proof of ownership. Make sure that you complete the odometer and damage disclosure statements on the back of the title certificate. Complete the proof of ownership document carefully. The DMV does not accept a title certificate or another proof of ownership document that indicates the information or signatures were changed or erased.
• Vehicle Proof of Ownership
• Registration Refund or Transfer
• Surrender Vehicle Plates and Registration Items
• Temporary Surrender of a Registration (No Refund)
• Transfer Vehicle Ownership (Sale or Gift)
- Proof of purchase price or gift. Use form DTF-802 (Statement of Transaction for Sales Tax) to show the purchase price of the vehicle or that the vehicle is a gift. The seller or donor completes the affidavit on page two of the form and gives the form to the new owner. The new owner completes the first page of the form and gives the form to the DMV office. The DMV office collects the sales tax from the new owner if the new owner is required to pay any sales tax. If the new owner applies for an exemption from NYS sales tax for a reason different from a gift, use form DTF-803 (Claim for Exemption). You can see the current sales tax rates by jurisdiction at the Department of Taxation and Finance web site.
[B]Lien. If there is a lien listed on the title certificate, give the new owner the original document from the lienholder that proves that the lien is satisfied. Keep a copy of this document. The new owner must give the original proof to the DMV. The DMV removes the lien when the new title certificate is issued.[/B]Vehicle plates and stickers. To avoid penalties, remove your vehicle plates, and your windshield registration sticker and inspection sticker. Do not allow the new owner to use your vehicle plates or stickers.

Also, because of the Real ID Act, we will eventually have a national vehicle database. Until then, states are working to get the databases from each DMV to talk to each other so it will make it MUCH easier to transfer a tag from NY to NJ.
In the future, you will actually be able to register the car wherever you bought it and have it titled in the state where you are taking it to.
