Ownership / The next step
A new owner. A clear next step.
Shift and Bids offers car title transfer services to support buyers and sellers as ownership changes hands.
Start by understanding the documents involved and the requirements that apply to your transaction.
Prepare for the paperwork.
Requirements depend on the vehicle, its title status and the jurisdictions involved. Confirm the applicable process before signing or sending original documents.
- Locate the current title and check the owner information.
- Note any lien, missing title or ownership discrepancy.
- Gather the buyer, seller and vehicle details.
- Confirm required signatures, forms and fees for your transaction.
Are title requirements the same everywhere?
No. State requirements and individual vehicle circumstances can differ. Confirm the requirements with the relevant title authority.
What if the vehicle has a lien?
A lien may require additional documentation or a release before a transfer can be completed. Identify it early and confirm the necessary steps.
How much does a transfer cost, and how long does it take?
Fees and processing times depend on the transaction and applicable requirements. No fixed price or completion time is published here.
