You must have the cars title in hand signed by the owner (person selling you the car) in some states the signature must be the same as the typed owners name on the title.IE-middle name,maiden name etc..The title must have a date when car was purchased. If there are any liens on the title a banks name etc. on the title it will have to be released first before it is cleared for sale. Once the title is clear (signed, dated, liens signed off) it can then be given to your local DMV. Some states will ask for a bill of sale (amount paid for the car made out by the person selling the car). You will pay sales tax on this amount, fee for change of title in your name plus any registration fees. Kit cars, old wrecks, red titles, salvage titles are a whole different process so be sure you have the right one.
Insurance, registration, when you bought the car and who sold it to you
No. The title is the document that establishes ownership.
Get the vin number and go to the place you bought the car to get a key made. You will need the registration to the car.
check with you local registration office
It is my understanding that in most states an insurance policy is issued to the name which appears on the vehicle's registration.
Yes, if you purchase a vehicle from a used car dealer, you typically need a registration card to register the car in your name. The dealer usually provides you with a bill of sale and other necessary documents, including the title, which you will need to complete the registration process. It's important to check your local DMV requirements, as they may vary by state.
This may vary from state to state. In Mass, you have to have insurance in order to register a car (the insurance company has to stamp the registration form)
yes you can get new car registration papers
All you have to do is get it inspected at any inspection place. Must have clear title, proof of insurance, and current registration. That's it.
Yes, Wisconsin state law allows a 10 day waiting period without registration. It is legal to drive those ten days with proof of title.
In most states, you have to renew your car registration annually.
Here's a guess: The guy bought the car, and never bothered changing the registration. You took the plates off the car, right? Go to the registry with proof that you sold the car. If this is not the case, revert this answer, or contact me and I'll revert it.
