No, you must sign the title over to the buyer at the time of the transaction.
(I hope that you got a bill of sale from the owner you bought it from.) Take the bill of sale to the DMV and apply for a title.
If the car's owner lost the title to the car a replacement title or duplicate title can be applied for thru the state dmv.
You can transfer with a duplicate title depending on the reason. If you bought the car, you can use a duplicate title "IF" you have a bill of sale. If it is a family member's car, you might want to take them with you to the DMV.
Check with your DMV but usually as long as the title is signed as released by the previous owner, and you have a bill of sale it should be good.
You need to get a "lost title" form from the DMV and have the seller sign it. This form will work as the title and you will need a "bill of sale" to go with it.
Obtain a bill of sale and the signed title. Take the car and your paper work to the DMV. Pay them lots of money. If the title is lost the owner of the vehicle needs to get it back from the DMV first.
You will have to get a duplicate title from DMV
If you have the car,a reciept from previous,and the title in the previous name,it is legally your car.The previous owner may become charged with a class one felony.If you can show the state Liability was released to you upon sale to you,DMV may prosecute the previous owner for theft.
You can apply for it at the DMV.
duplicate from DMV
IF you can find a BUYER, negotiate with the lender to complete the sale. The "no leinholder" part on the title wont fly if you try to do the sale. It IS recorded with the DMV. I don't think that it is recorded at the DMV, the vehicle was paid for by check to the dealership through a credit union, it was not dealer financed. I will check with DMV though.
Hello, It depends on what you are asking, and where you are located. Are you waiting for a replacement/duplicate title to be sent to you from the DMV? Or are you waiting for a bank/credit union/lender to send you your title? If you are waiting on the DMV, that is going to vary by state, but here in Wisconsin it can take up to 6 weeks. However, there are DMV Service Centers you can go to for an immediate replacement or duplicate title, but you will normally have to pay an additional fee for this service ($5 in Wisconsin.) If you are waiting for a bank, credit union, or other lein holder/lender, you will need to contact them to see what their individual policies are, and verify whether or not the title has already been sent out to you. Good luck!
