We provide ONLINE PennDot title services:
A certificate of title is the proof of ownership to a motor vehicle in the state of Pennsylvania.
When you purchase a new motor vehicle, bring a motor vehicle into the state, or at any time the ownership of the motor vehicle changes, you must transfer ownership into your name.
The following is needed to complete the transfer:
- For Seller:
– Original PA title
– Proof of ID (valid PA driver’s license or PA Photo ID card)
- For Buyer:
– Proof of ID (valid PA driver’s license or PA Photo ID card)
– Proof of Insurance (must be current and match driver license address)
– Purchase price & mileage
– Registration information if transferring your license plate
Duplicate title requests are processed immediately and mailed to you in 3-5 weeks. All parties on the original title (or current registration card as it is the same) must be present with PA driver’s licenses for processing. Please be sure to bring the VIN number or other identifying information (registration/insurance card).

If you are purchasing a vehicle which was involved in a total loss, you will need to get a Salvage title along with form 426B (Application for Reconstructed, Specially Constructed, Collectable, Modified, Flood, Theft Vehicles, Street Rods) filled by an authorized mechanic to apply for a reconstructed title. We can help you with the entire process. Please call our office or stop by.
So if you decided to move to Pennsylvania. Welcome!
But what do you need to do?
If coming from out of state and moving into the area, in order to get your car registered you must have the title in hand. If you are still making payments on a vehicle and your bank is holding the title, stop in to complete an out of state title request form (no charge) (please bring the following information – Name of financial institution, account number, VIN number, fax number for the title department of the financial institution) or please fill out this form:
And we’ll take care of getting the title from your bank. Once we receive your title, we will call you to complete the transfer. Should the vehicle you are bringing into PA be less than 6 months old, you will need to provide a notarized statement from the dealer indicating sales tax was paid to the previous state.
Any NON Pennsylvania title requires a tracing or verification of the VIN Number
If your vehicle is currently registered, and you need to correct vehicle information, such as the make, model year, number of doors, body type/descriptions, weight, etc., bring the title certificate, proof of your identity and proof of the correct information and we will help you.
Out Of State Titles
Please bring the following to complete your transfer from another state to Pennsylvania:
– Original title
– Proof of ID (valid PA driver’s license with current address)
– Proof of Insurance (must be current and match driver’s license address)
– Vehicle in order to verify VIN (or a VIN tracing)
Business titles: we require proof of your position with the company (not a business card). In addition, if the owner is sending an employee to complete the transfer, we require a notarized letter (on company letterhead) giving authority to the employee, signed by the owner (Pres, VP, CEO, CFO).
