You came through in the clutch, I sleep during the day and was awakened by my parents because someone arrived to buy the vehicle we were selling, this video was super helpful
You forgot the 2nd seller signature line under the odometer statement. I believe this NEEDS to be signed by the seller in addition to the release signature. Very important signature you don't want to miss!
Great video. If the car is not operable and I can’t do smog check can I still sell it? Also do I need a separate bill of sale or just the part that comes with title? I’m in California. Thank you
Thank you for the concise explanation. I am selling a car in a junkyard. I have some questions. 1. The odometer is broken but can be read through an OBD2 reader. Can I just guess the mileage? 2. The junkyard had told me to sign only line 1a. is that correct? Don't I need to sign the box where it says transferor/seller signature and line#2 as well?
Why not the dmv? Don’t independent offices charge yet another fee for doing the paperwork? Maybe I’m lucky I’m waiting 15-45 min at my local dmv office.
My truck is under my dad’s name but I’ve been the one who has been paying the car off. Would it be okay to just transfer the car to my name or just leave it? Tips from others is appreciated
@@MrHector4563thank you, when you say gift will I be putting a dollar amount on the selling price? Like a dollar? Because I have the title with me now lol doing it as I watch this now
@@uboii no i would say leave it blank since its a gift but turn around the pink slip and on the “new register owner” bottom right thats where you state gift in writing!
Do you happen to know what would i need to do in my situation? When i bought my car my mother is my co-signer because her credit score is better than mine and we got a lower apr rate. The car is already paid off, no lien on the title, and we have the title in hand. Both of our names are on the title but hers is first (there is "or" after my mother's name and then mine below it) Now the car is paid off, we want to removed my mother's name on the titled solely to me. And im planning to moved at different state. The car is registered in my mom's state right now, like i said im planning to moved in a different state. What should i do? I hope you might help me... Thank you in advance...
Great video thank you! My friend is in New York and I’m in LA. He wants to gift me his car I’ve been storing and maintaining for him for over a year. If I understand you in order to transfer the title to me he needs only sign the title and FedEx it to me, as I can fill in everything else, yes? My question is do I or he just put “gift” under sale price? Thanks
Please explain the box directly under the owner's date and signature. It begins with "Federal and State Law requires that you state the mileage...." and then there's an "under penalty of perjury" declaration for the odometer reading with a signature and date lines? Are you saying, the seller doesn't need to do this part? And what about the 3rd signature in the bottom right corner that releases interest?
thanks for the great info. After I filled out the NLR form online (as the seller) do I need to do anything to cancel my car's registration? Or does that handle it?
I purchased a use car today in CA and the seller signed in the buyer's section. I asked him not to scratch it out for now and I signed next to / under his signature. And he also checked the "Mileage exceeds the odometer mechanical limits" which he scratched on a little. What do I do?
I'm an Australian who's planning on staying in America for a month. It says in the top portion what my address is. What would I even put down? I plan on taking the car that I'll buy from the West coast to the East coast. Are there more steps that need to be done by me?
my mom passed away in Washington state. we shipped her car 2004 car to California but we can not find the title. How do I register it here? we have her death certificate and last reg.
You said to leave questions in the comments below but it appears you answer very few of them. sigh. I'll ask anyway and hope it is not a waste of time. How do I find a good local tile transfer office? Can I have them fill out pink slip then take it into DMV? Who do I pay these fees to and when?
No DMV required, just take it to the title transfer office! There are a lot of independent shops, so just google "title transfer office" for your area. That is where you pay all the fees.
husband purchased a boat. the person who sold him the boat never registered it or the trailer. How do we get it in our name? We have the certificate of ownership that they never filed.
how do i fill out this form if all i want to do is remove a name from the title. currently on the title, i have my name and someone else's name with an "OR" in between. is filling out this form different in that case? i'm not technically selling it; im just removing a name from the title. thanks in advance!
@@djayeenayea. The person you want removed has to sign 1a. Leave 1b blank. Then you both sign and date the bottom part after it says “I certify that..” there’s also a dmv transfer form you have to fill out yourself for the cost of the car. I said the car cost $1 or a gift and it worked. I brought it to dmv and they mailed me my new title with just my name on it.
I purchased a car and seller didn’t get my information he just gave me the title signed will I have a problem with the transfer and he didn’t put the mileage he just gave me a signed title
It looks like to can actually do the whole transfer online at the CA DMV website.... so what am I missing? You upload a scanned copy and everything. I came here to figure out how to fill it out because I don't want to mess that up and the instructions on the website are not exactly clear. But this is more about having someone else do it. lol.
I've never heard of a way to do it online... Personally I'd be concerned the DMV would lose something or I'd fill something out imperfectly. Let me know if you figure this out because it would be a game changer if it worked.
@@NicksCarHistoryA third party DMV service is not cheaper lol Yes there is no appointment or wait time, but you still have to pay a fee. The DMV is free. They have way more knowledge, provide service for unique situations and can override anything. If you walk into the DMV 30 minutes before they close its usually a very small wait time.
@@NicksCarHistory a third party dmv place can also lose your paperwork. They also mail it in, they use the exact same online system any regular person can use.
I need help pls! My bf is a Co owner of a honda car and he’s the one who pays it, and use it. It will gonna be paid until next year. The problem is the Primary owner is his Ex gf who gives him hardtime about his car. Is there anyway my bf can transfer the title on his own if ever he receives the title of his car? Can he transfer it without the presence of his ex gf?
Your video on how to properly fill out a state of California certificate of title was pretty thorough however you stated that all you needed on the front page of the certificate of title is the date and the signature of the seller, below that the agreed odometer reading, below that the date and signature of the seller on the left and the date and signature of the buyer on the right but you did not mention and totally skipped over The section at the bottom that says important read carefully: it asks for a signature but the instructions are any changes or lienholder holder of security interest must be reported to the DMV within 10 days so signature to with the signature releases interest in vehicle in parentheses company names need to be countersign and then it has release date so does the owner of the vehicle sign here as well He’s an individual not a business because it gives instructions that it is a business they have to sign but what about if it’s an individual so proprietor no business involved. You totally skipped over that area. I don’t want to go to AAA/DMV with an incomplete certificate of California certificate of title as I just bought this car. Hopefully you could read this and post comment soon
