Where to Replace a Vehicle Title Online
So where can you get a vehicle title replaced online? Well first of all, many DMVs, the official government agency, have processes to order a title through their website online.

Ensure Legitimacy
Make sure that if you’re ordering a vehicle title, it is through a licensed DMV agent or the DMV itself. If it’s a title agent, make sure that agent is affiliated with the DMV. If they’re not, anything that they’re doing you can do yourself basically for free, and you don’t have to pay them.

Ownership Verification
Also verify that you’re not signing over ownership of this vehicle to another party. Because if part of the process is signing over the ownership to them, they put it in their name and then they sign it back to you. There’s a lot of risk involved with that, even if it’s legal.

Mechanic’s Lien Check
The next thing is to look to see if there’s a mechanic’s lien involved. There is a mechanic’s lien process which is used for a towing company to title an impounded vehicle for the purpose of auction. That process is very frequently misused to get titles for people. When that happens, the titles are revoked, they’re made invalid, and people involved a lot of times have penalties associated with it.

Cost Breakdown
What is the cost for what are you actually paying for? Have them itemized the amount. How much is for the actual title, how much is for their service?

Legal Verification
And then last, verify that it’s legal. Don’t go by their word. If it’s legal, verify that all the processes they’re using qualify for the statutes for that state and the fact that they have licensed themselves in a business license that you can verify independently of what they give you.
