If you legally own the vehicle and have a bill of sale you can apply for a duplicate title at the state DMV. You must have all the proper paperwork however, so it might be in your best interest to call the local DMV office and find out exactly what is required.
Every vehicle has a VIN attached somewhere to it ... the engine block, in the top of the dashboard, in a door pillar. If the VIN has been removed from a vehicle, chances are that is stolen property and should be avoided like the plague. If you are trying to obtain the title without the vehicle and don't have the VIN this just doesn't make sense. What is meant here is that if a person bought a vehicle and wants to get a new title issued, then they most likely have the vehicle and can obtain it easily.
If the property owner or person in lawful control of the property wishes to obtain ownership rights to the abandoned vehicle (Which has been on their property for more than 30 days), the legal owner of the vehicle must be identified. To identify the vehicle owner, the property owner or person in lawful control of the property must request a title and lien search from the Wyoming Department of Transportation.
hot wire it and drive it without a title, that would be great.... partially answered my question, the car is not in canada.... its in new york
The owner of the vehicle needs to call the DMV and pay for and order a new copy of the title to turn over to you.
Contact the MVD (Motor Vehicle Department) and do a title search. You will need the vehicle VIN and there will be a fee.
Yes; why on earth would you think otherwise? The "salvage" title only means that it is a reconstructed, or rebuilt vehicle which has probably been heavily damaged and repaired. It is STILL your property, and in this respect, a title, is a title, is a title -- "salvage" has nothing to do with whether or not you own the property (vehicle). If some one else damages it, then they have damaged YOUR property.
Professional title examiners do not perform their services for free.
No. You would have no standing to pledge property you don't own to obtain a loan.
If the vehicle is salvage property, say recovered from the side of the road by a tow truck company contracted by the DOT to do so, and all outstanding storage fees have been paid, contact the DMV to obtain a salvage title. If you are a mechanic or repair shop, and the vehicle was abandoned and you have made every attempt to contact the owner to claim his property and pay his debt, file for a mechanics lien with the local district court. Wait another thirty days, and file for repossession of the vehicle with the same court to cover the outstanding costs. Once you obtain a legal order for repossession, you contact local law enforcement to report the vehicle repossessed, and file for a new title with the DMV.
There is a process that you have to go through and it varies by state. Your DMV can help you but it involves placing a mechanics lien for storage fees on the vehicle and stating your intention for the vehicle publicly like in a newspaper and waiting about a month or two, when no one comes forward to claim the vehicle you can be issued a title by default.
Yes.
Once a vehicle has an Ohio Salvage title assigned, the history remains with that VIN until the vehicle is scrapped. The Registrar in your county will issue a Repaired Salvage , or "branded" Title that you can get your license plates with. You cannot obtain a Clear title for this car.
