Can you process a transfer for a vehicle purchased from an out-of-state dealer instead of a private party?
Yes, we can process the out-of-state vehicle transfer for you, even if you purchased the vehicle from a dealer outside California. We’ll handle everything to ensure a smooth registration process.
I am looking to title a vehicle for a customer who resides in California. The title is already in California. Will a VIN Inspection still be required?
A VIN verification inspection is required for most vehicle registrations and renewals in California, including:
- When transferring ownership.
- When registering a rebuilt vehicle.
- When registering a vehicle from out of state.
- When transferring plates from another car.
For more information, you can also contact the DMV at (800) 777-0133. Please note that the original forms must be submitted to the DMV to complete registration.
Can I put two names on a title transfer?
Yes, Xtreet can list both your name and a secondary name (such as a spouse) on the title.
In California, two or more individuals can co-own a vehicle or vessel. The names of co-owners can be joined by:
- "and" (both parties must sign documents for transactions).
- "and/or" (either party can sign, but both have ownership rights).
- "or" (either party can sign and act independently).
Can you expedite or rush title processing?
No. The DMV solely manages title processing services. Xtreet doesn’t offer expedited services.
What happens if I don’t transfer a vehicle title within 10 days in California?
In California, it’s crucial to complete the vehicle title transfer within 10 days of purchasing a vehicle to avoid various issues:
- Penalties and fines: The DMV imposes late fees if the title is not transferred within 10 days.
- Expired registration: If the title transfer isn`t completed, the vehicle’s registration will expire on the current owner's birthday. The new owner must pay to renew the registration in their name.
- Complications when selling the vehicle: Delaying the title transfer can create problems when the new owner attempts to sell the vehicle later.
- Legal issues: Driving an unregistered vehicle is illegal in California. Failure to transfer the title on time could lead to citations and legal problems for the new owner.
To avoid penalties, complications, or legal troubles, complete the title transfer promptly with the DMV. This requirement is strictly enforced.
Renewing my registration through Xtreet was a game-changer! It took just a few clicks, and it was done. I highly recommend this for every California driver!
