Gather Supporting Documentation

To get the title of your car, you will need to present certain documents. These may include proof of your identity, proof of purchase, proof of insurance, and a bill of sale. Make sure you have all the necessary documents before beginning the process.

Have Your Vehicle Inspected

Most states require that you have your vehicle inspected before getting the title of your car. Make sure to bring your vehicle to a certified mechanic to have it inspected. At MVD Express, we can also perform VIN inspections on your vehicle to help verify ownership.

Register Your Car

After you’ve completed your inspection and have all of your necessary documentation on hand, it’s time to register your vehicle. Usually, this involves paying a fee, and filling out more applicable paperwork. But the good news is once you have your vehicle registered, you’ll receive the title to your car!

You’ll need to update your auto insurance policy throughout this process in order to stay completely up-to-date on your vehicle’s paperwork, but in the end, you’ll have full ownership of your car’s title. If you need additional title information or help, get in touch with us today!
