I think he means if there's a record of being registered in a different state, or serviced in a different state.

CarFax gets data from state governments. If you move to Georgia, you'll register your car in Georgia, and the DMV will tell CarFax. Then the CarFax history will contain 'registered in Georgia on xx/xx/xxxx.' Same if you take the car for service to a shop in New Jersey; if the shop participates with CarFax then the record will include 'oil change and tire rotation @ (shop name), NJ w/ 3,300 miles' or something roughly along those lines.
