What can go wrong if you delay your title transfer
- You may not be able to register or renew the vehicle in your name until the title transfer is complete
- Registration notices, tickets, and ownership issues can remain tied to the previous owner of record
- Delays can slow down plates, registration cards, and legal ownership updates with the California DMV
Completing your California title transfer updates ownership with the DMV and keeps registration, plates, and legal responsibility moving in the right direction.
Four steps. Completed online.
Step 1
Enter your vehicle and ownership details
Provide your plate or VIN, buyer and seller information, and sale details so we can prepare the correct transfer forms.
Step 2
Pay your service fee and upload documents
Pay the processing fee today, then upload clear photos of your title and any supporting documents we need to review.
Step 3
We review your file and mail your signing packet
Our team reviews your documents, prepares the DMV forms, and ships a signing packet with a prepaid return envelope to your door.
Step 4
Approve DMV fees and we complete the transfer
After review, you receive an itemized DMV/state fee quote. Once you approve and return signed paperwork, we file with the California DMV.
