Source of Car Titles<\/h1>\n\n\n\n

Car titles are regulated and distributed by the Department\nof Motor Vehicles (DMV). You can visit a local branch of the Department of\nMotor Vehicles, also known as a Bureau of Motor Vehicles (BMV) when you need\ndrivers\u2019 license, registration, and car title services. There are dozens of\nlocations in your city, so finding one is never a problem. Any major road-approved\nvehicle can be given a car title, including cars, trucks, SUV\u2019s, vans, recreational\nvehicles, motorcycles, and even boats.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Title Transfers<\/h1>\n\n\n\n

When a car owner decides to sell their vehicle, they must\ntransfer the car title over to the buyer once the transaction has been completed.\nThis is referred to as signing over a car title, or more formally, a car title\ntransfer. If you wish to sell your car, but you do not have a car title, you\ncould run into some delays. A private buyer who intends on operating the vehicle\nwill want a valid car title. Car titles also make your car worth more, so\nhaving one is best if you plan to sell for a profit. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

To replace a lost or stolen car title, you will have to get\nin touch with your local drivers\u2019 license branch. There, you will receive all\nthe instructions needed to complete the paperwork, requirements, and deadlines.\nThere is usually a fee for this process, so be prepared to send in a check or\nmoney order when filing for a duplicate car title. See our blog, \u201cHow\nto Replace a Lost Car Title<\/a>\u201d to learn the steps for getting started.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Rebuilt and Reconstructed Car Titles<\/h1>\n\n\n\n

In the case that your vehicle has been deemed totaled by the\ninsurance company, it will be given a new titled called a salvaged <\/em>title.<\/em>\nNow, in the case that you wish to pay to have the vehicle repaired back to a\nnon-totaled, road-approved condition, the DMV would issue a rebuilt <\/em>car\ntitle, also known as a reconstructed<\/em> car title. If you have a totaled\ncar that was not covered by insurance, you might not be able to afford repairs\nin such a major way. In this case, you could sell your junk vehicle to an\nautomotive salvage yard, even without a car title. It is possible for junk car\nbuyers to accept other forms of documentation to prove ownership of a vehicle,\nsuch as the registration, insurance policy, or lien. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
