Car Title Transfers
Whenever you buy or sell a car, you will need to complete a car title transfer. A car title is the certificate proving who owns the car. When the car changes ownership, it is important to legally transfer the title to the new owner. When you buy or sell a car through us, we will help you complete all of the necessary paperwork and ensure that you are protected. Below, you’ll find information on how car title transfers apply to buying and selling a car.
Buying a Car
If you’re buying a new car, the dealership will take care of the title transfer paperwork. If the car is financed, you will get a title with the listed lien holder (lender).
To transfer the ownership of a titled vehicle, the seller and buyer must record the transfer on the title and the buyer must complete the application portion of the title and surrender the completed document to the Driver and Vehicle Services (DVS) office.
Selling a Car
When transferring the title of your car to a new buyer, the seller should complete and remove the Recorded Owner(s) Record of Sale stub from the title. The seller is required to report the sale of the vehicle by mailing the stub to the DVS office, or by filing a report of sale online.
At Carcierge, we’ll help you complete the required title transfer paperwork to protect you from any liability. When we’re searching for pre-owned vehicles, we’ll make sure the title to any car under consideration is free and clear of any brands that would identify it as a car with a problematic history.
Trust Carcierge to make sure all the details of buying and selling your car are expertly handled.
