Frequently Asked Questions

How do I determine a selling price for my vehicle?

Check similar vehicles in newspaper classified advertisements or at local used vehicle dealerships. Libraries also have various value/pricing guides that you may be able to reference.

What do I do with the license plate?
( A& g+ e. t: v3 H3 u6 H$ S
Most vehicles have sequentially issued “standard” license plates that remain with the vehicle when ownership is transferred. If the license plate is a special interest or personalized license plate, you must decide if you want to retain the plate for use on another vehicle, or release your interest in the plate. Complete a Special Interest License Plate Application (REG 17) indicating your retention or release of the special plate. If you are releasing the plates fill out the form, give it to the buyer and retain a copy for your records. If you are retaining the plates follow the instructions on the form.


- N- h( e) P6 \% xHow long will it take for everything to be complete?

When you give the buyer all of the required documentation and DMV receives your completed Notice of Release of Liability, the seller’s part of the transaction is complete. Once the buyer has provided DMV with all the proper documentation and fees, the vehicle record is updated to reflect the change of ownership and a registration card is issued to the new owner. A new title is issued from DMV headquarters within 60 calendar days.

What is the difference between “and” and “or” between co-owner names on a title?
) g; H8 b" ~% e+ P  J
+ C$ r- A8 Z5 N( ]When the names are joined by the word “or,” one owner can sell the vehicle without the other’s signature or consent. “And” or a slash (/) requires the signature of each owner to sell the vehicle.

It seems each state is much the same..therefore, you can check offical site of DMV in each state you are in.
