Vehicle Registration & Titling

Do you intend to purchase a car, motorcycle, truck or trailer? Let us do your title & registration work!

If you’re the SELLER, you will need to bring:

The original PA Title – OR – Manufacturer’s Certificate of Origin.

If it is a title/vehicle is coming from another state, PennDot requires a VIN Verification. This means that you must bring the vehicle with you when coming to our office. If for some reason, you cannot bring the vehicle, you will need to complete an MV-41 form (available here) and have the VIN personally verified by a licensed auto mechanic or another notary public.

If the title is a PA title or an out of state title that needs to be notarized, the ORIGINAL seller(s) or his/her POA must also come with their valid DL/ID so we can notarize the title OR it must be notarized before coming in to do the transfer! Certificates of Origin need to be notarized under the Odometer Statement AND Customer Assignment.

Certificates of Origin need to be notarized under the Odometer Statement AND Customer Assignment.

Your Valid PA Driver’s License or PA State ID.

If your address differs from that on your driver’s license we will need your YELLOW amendment card as well or we will need to change your address with the state.

If your address needs changed/updated we will most likely be able to change your address at the same time as your transfer. (CDL license holders excluded).

The current odometer reading to the vehicle.
If you intend to use a prior license plate that was on a vehicle already owned, please bring it with you and we will try to save you money by reusing it.

If you’re the BUYER, you will need to bring:

Your Valid PA Driver’s License or PA State ID.

If your address differs from that on your driver’s license we will need your YELLOW amendment card as well or we will need to change your address with the state.

Valid PA Auto Insurance Card or Declarations Page (if registering/need plate).

Make sure the buyers name is listed on the ID card, or a Declarations Page clearly showing the buyer listed as a driver.

Please review acceptable Proof of Insurance.

If the buyer already has a registration/plate in their name, then that plate may be able to be transferred to the newly purchased vehicle, which saves you money! So simply bring in the registration card or license plate with you!

Buying a Vehicle in PA but Taking it out of State

IN-TRANSIT 60-DAY TEMPORARY TAGS

Are you an out of state resident who just purchased a car in Pennsylvania and plan to drive it back to your home state? If so, we can help you by processing a temporary tag, which includes a temporary registration valid for 60 days. This will allow you up to 60 days to get back to your home state and title/register your new vehicle!

(In-transit plates may not be issued to a PA Resident under any circumstances)

The buyer/purchaser of the vehicle must bring in the following:

The Pennsylvania title to the vehicle that you just purchased. PA titles require the seller’s signature to be notarized; therefore, the seller(s) must also come with their valid Driver’s License or State issued Photo ID so we can notarize the title OR it must have been notarized by another notary public before coming in to our office.

Your valid out of state Driver’s License or valid out of state Photo ID.

Your current out of state automobile insurance card or declarations page. Make sure your name is listed on the ID card or Declarations Page showing you are listed as a POLICY OWNER or DRIVER. The original PA Title will be returned to you so that you may complete the processing with your home state DMV.
