Simple and Reliable Title Transfers
As you provide essential information about your vehicle, including the make, model, and VIN number, as well as a few personal details, your application for a duplicate title form is automatically completed.
If you're away from home, usacartags can send your title replacement to any address you choose—even if it doesn't match what's on file with the DMV. All we need is proof of residency!
Certain title replacements need special attention. Our title specialists are here to assist with issues like liens that might be delaying your duplicate title for your vehicle.
Finding the vehicle you want at the price you can afford from a private seller or dealership is just the beginning of the car buying experience. To complete the process and become the new owner of the vehicle, you have to follow through with all the required paperwork. Neglecting to properly sign over a new title in a timely manner could land both buyers and sellers in hot water.
The paperwork for cars, trucks, or motorcycles purchased at a dealership are fairly easy to transfer because the dealership typically files an electronic title transfer and handles all the leg work. As the (future) vehicle’s owner, you just need to sign the forms they require and pay the necessary fees.
If you're the buyer of a vehicle held privately for sale, the seller (who also needs to be the person listed on the title) must sign over the title to you. Next, you will need to go to the Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV), Motor Vehicle Administration (MVD) or Registry of Motor Vehicles (RMV) in your state and fill out the required title transfers form and pay the required cost to complete the transfer.
Keep in mind, this transaction will most likely all have to be done in person because transferring a title online is not an option most states provide. More likely than not, you'll also register the vehicle at the time you process your title transfer so you can get your license plate(s).
When moving to a new state, you may want or be required to transfer your vehicle title so that you’re issued a title by the state you now reside in, for the vehicle you already own. It’s a simple process that requires you to hand over the out-of-state title for an in-state title.
If lost the title, you could (usually) get a copy from the state it’s filed with. You may also be able to just register your vehicle in the new state (where you just moved to) to get license plate(s) without having to transfer the title at all.
Contact your state’s DMV, MVD, or RMV for more information on this option.
Depending on where you live, you may be required to have an approved state verifier complete a VIN verification such as CHP in California or law enforcement officer in FL. Your vehicle may also have to go through an emissions inspection. Often, any required value taxes may be waived as well.
