End all the bull shit and try this guy THE TITLE MAN 585-232-3217, got me a registration in somebody elses name signed over to me and a notorized bill of sale, I registered here in NC [ a bastard of a state for trying to do this ] registered my 51 and the NC title was issued a month later. No bull shit, no problems, just done......
You should live in Pa. and try to get them titled here ! We have to go through a Special inspection to get one tilled . What a real pain in the ass that is . They all have the same rules.laws to go by but the inspectors all look at it differently . Do you need a title or can a bill of sale work ? I do know a lot of states do the bill of sale for older cars now instead of a title . Pa is still a title state . Good Luck and let us know how you make out . Just don't buy a title and expect it to work . Just a suggestion ! Retro Jim
Unfortunately, I'm going through this now in the great state of MO. I don't know if this is the "best" or "easist" way to do it, but it is one way of doing it without worrying about future problems. I also don't know if you're the actual owner and just need to apply for a lost title, or if you're like me and my scenario. Our 48 plymouth was in the family and abandoned on our proptery after the owner died in the 1960's. We called the state Dept. of Revenue and completed form # 768 (general affidavit about the car), #5227 (Notice to the last known owner of the car - you may not need this), and DOR-108 (request to get the title in my name). We also had to send a certified letter to the last owner (yes, the one who died in the 1960's) telling him to come get his car or it would become my property. Once I got the letter returned, I had to send it, all the forms, and paid a small fee of $16 back in June and we're still working through it. Received notice in mid August that all the paperwork was in order, just need to get the car inspected now and need to have form #551 completed by either the state patrol (if I want an original title), or any law enforcement officer if I want a salvage title. No way I'm going through this just to get a salvage title, so I'm waiting to get the car ready to pass inspection by the state patrol. If none of this applies to your situation, call the state at 573-751-4509. You'll have to probably wait awhile on hold, but you can explain your situation to them and should get some help. Good luck!
Its called signing over power of attorney, and my car isn't a stollen car, Know who used to own it for over 50 yrs, know where it came from including the barn it was sitting behind, AND HE DOESN'T PROVIDE YOU WITH A TITLE!!!!! THE STATE IN WHICH YOU REGISTER YOUR CAR DOES.......dumbass....THE TITLE MAN 585-323-3217 100% LEGAL
Got you a notarized bill of sale...that part in itself is odd, in Illinois, a notary insists upon both parties being present during the transaction, makes it difficult to purchase a car on a Sunday, I would be cautious. I would call MO department of motor vehicles to find out more, go on the web and go to services in registration, see what hey say. Even if you use a service it is still wise as a consumer to know and understand the process and what exactly they are doing for you. In most cases when the car has numbers it can be traced out through previous registrations in various states. I've done them with no numbers, it takes a while, thanks to the expeditors but it's doable. Pauls, I would not so quickly call someone a name and get so angry, there are a lot of cases where these titles of convenience have been recalled and a bonded title has had to be issued. Just because piece of paper is in your hand does not mean you are 100%. It pays to be informed.
One thing I have done is let a friend with a towing company impound my car, keep it the required amount of time and sell it (to me, the highest bidder) on an impound auction. The paper work they have to do is much simpler than the average motorist has to deal with. In hindsight, I strongly suggest not messing with cars that don't have a clean title in the sellers name.
It's very hard to find any fault with the thinking of our friend Claymore, A notary public in the state of Illinois will not sign as authentic any document that does not have both parties present, if you are buying a car in Indiana you need to go to the bank currency exchange or where ever and do the deal in front of the notary with all of your IDs proving you are in their presence. Don't come back to Illinois and think that Monday morning you can square, nope, You need a notarized title to prove the authenticity of documents and verify the amount paid in the transaction, later when you go through revenue they will try to say your car is a 45 K car and tax you for that, without the document bill of sale as notarized you are paying tax on 45 K. And for the 1 dollar fee that a notary charges to verify your transaction, trust me they are not going to jail or court for your silly stuff. My brother is a notary, he told me to go jump myself, he's not falsifying docs for any one.
wtf .... Why is everybody making something illegal so hard ? Print up your own damn title , it ain't illegal until ya get caught. hell , everybody would be stealing shit. goodgrief
I don't know if MO is the same, but Kansas just needs a bill of sale, and an inspection(making sure the vin and the bill of sale match) by KHP to issue an antique title. As to title services, isn't that what has caused the recent changes in California's laws?
