What Is a Private Party Title Transfer?
A private party title transfer occurs when vehicle ownership is transferred directly between individuals rather than through a dealership.
This commonly happens when one person sells a car, truck, motorcycle, RV, or another vehicle directly to another individual.
A private sale can require important ownership and transaction documentation. The title should contain the appropriate ownership information, while additional documents may be needed depending on the circumstances of the sale.
Our team can review your available paperwork and help you understand the requirements for your private sale vehicle title transfer.
