Registration & Titling

In all, we cover 10 separate registration and titling topics, state-by-state. We'll explain how to transfer a title in your state when you buy or sell a used vehicle in a private sale. And, we'll explain how the titling process works when you buy a car right off the showroom floor.

And if you need to find a Bill of Sale to finalize that sale, we've got the links to the form for your state―or a generic one that you can use instead.

But not only will you find information on what forms to fill out and where to submit them, we also give you detailed information about special registration situations for renewals, boats, RVs, salvaged vehicles, and custom-built cars.

Plus, you can learn whether your state requires emission checks prior to registration, where to have your vehicle tested, and how often that needs to be done.

At DMV.ORG, not only do we keep you informed; we save you time. Taking care of a title transfer or filing the registration or renewal on your car just got a whole lot easier.
