SO… What Exactly Is a Title Transfer About?
You finally found the perfect vehicle (or found someone to buy yours)…now what?
Well, the first thing you need to do is document the change of ownership for the vehicle so that the DMV can update their records. This is called a certificate of title transfer.
If this is your first vehicle purchase, or the first time you’ve sold a car, we will be happy to assist you step-by-step. We want to make this process quick and painless for you.
When buying or selling a vehicle, someone will have to handle the title transfer paperwork. This is required to officially change the vehicle owner in the DMV system.
A California certificate of title transfer is also used when a vehicle is purchased on credit or paid off and the lien holder needs to be added or removed, a family member inherits a vehicle, or a co-owner’s name needs to be added or removed for other reasons.
Don’t Forget to File Your Transfer
You must make sure that all of the proper paperwork is processed when being involved with the ownership change of a vehicle. You definitely don’t want to put yourself at risk of being held liable for problems by not doing the right paperwork.
Failing to file the proper forms will leave the seller liable if the new owner crashes or runs into other trouble while their name is still on the title. It also puts the new owner at risk since the seller could later claim vehicle theft.
The price of our hassle-free, convenient transfer service is $45, and we will give you all the assistance you need to make sure the transfer goes through without any errors. If you need to request a duplicate title or out-of-state transfer, additional fees will apply.

If you suddenly realize that you don’t have the license plate, stickers/tags, or registration card that you need to drive legally, then please don’t panic. We will provide you with the forms and assistance you need to file a request for duplicate registration documents.
You can have the paperwork processed by us without having a long, stressful wait.
All applicants will need to file the Application for Replacement, Plates, Stickers, Documents (REG 156) form and should bring their DMV Letter, if applicable. Depending on the exact circumstances, other documents that may be needed include:
• Smog Check – Test or STAR (Depending on Vehicle)
