Finding the last Title of a Vehicle

So where do you go to find the last title of a vehicle? No, we’re talking about the title document itself, not the owner, but the title.

Identifying the Title Holder
You may start with who it is issued to. That person might have that title document and they may be able to transfer it over to you or to provide you with that piece of paper. Sometimes the lien holder has it even if that loan has been paid off. The lien holder may have hold that title document or hold the rights to transfer it.

Determining the State of Issue
If you don’t have that information, you can start with discovering what state issued that last title document and then go from there to see what their regulations would be to create a new one.

Understanding Ownership Transfer
More importantly, just because you have that title doesn’t make you the owner. That’s what you’re trying to do. The title will list and name the titled owner on that piece of paper. Until that ownership change has been done and legally transferred with the DMV, that person listed on the title is the legal owner as far as the state is concerned.

Final Steps for Transfer
So in addition to finding that title, you also want to discover the process to get it transferred if that’s what you’re trying to accomplish.
