We make buying and selling a car easy!! 

To help us facilitate the transaction, please remember to bring a few things with you.

The requirements for Pennsylvania ID do not apply to the seller or sellers of a vehicle.  However, this does not exempt the seller or sellers from providing a valid government-issued photo identification for identification purposes when completing motor vehicle documents as the seller of a vehicle.

  

• PENNSYLVANIA TITLES

  •  

    • Valid Identification for all owners of the vehicle (Drivers License, ID card)

    • Title to the vehicle

    • VIN verification.

    • • Unexpired Pennsylvania Driver's License

    • • If it is registered in the name of two people, both have to show up and sign

    • Current odometer reading

    • If your name differs on the title due to name change (marriage, divorce, etc) please bring with you the document that supports that change.

    • Valid PA proof of insurance if you are going to register the vehicle.  This must be a hard copy of the insurance card, binder, or declaration page.  We will accept a faxed copy from your insurance carrier.  

    •  If the vehicle you are purchasing is from out of state, the vehicle needs to be at our office at the time of transfer so we can verify the VIN number.  If you are unable to bring the vehicle, please click here. This form can be signed by an inspection mechanic in lieu of the vehicle not being at our location.

      • Note:  If you are purchasing a motorcycle or motor home, you must have proof of insurance listing the specific vehicle to have tags issued.

      • If you wish to transfer a tag to the vehicle you are purchasing, please bring the registration card for the tag. If the registration is in 2 names, we must have both people present during the transaction.

​

 

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

Reminder: If your purchase price is less than 80% of book value, an additional form is required explaining the agreed purchase price and requires two additional notaries ($16.00).

​

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)

If you are currently making payments on your vehicle, please bring the following information

– Name of the financial institution, account number, VIN number, fax number for the title department of the financial institution.

-- We will complete a form to request your title. Once we receive your title (approx. 2 weeks), 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.

--If sales tax paid to the previous state is less than 6%, the difference will be added to your total state fees.

​

Gifted out of state vehicle 

Gifted out of state vehicle: we require proof that sales tax was paid when the vehicle was purchased by the parent/child of the applicant. Any other relation cannot gift into PA from out of state.

​

Business titles 

Business titles: when a company is buying/selling a vehicle, we will do an inquiry with the Department of State to verify who is an officer with that company. If anyone other than an officer is before us to complete the title transfer we require a notarized Power of Attorney from the officer in order to complete the title transfer. If there are no officers listed with the DOS we will require either the Certificate of Organization or Articles of Incorporation with a notarized POA from whoever is listed.
