Instant Title Processing
We process your title instantly, so you walk out with your new title in hand the same day. No waiting. No follow-up visits.
Buying or Selling a Vehicle?
For a smooth transfer of ownership, we highly recommend that both the buyer and seller meet at one of our convenient UMV locations. Our team will verify that the vehicle has a clear title, process the title transfer, and ensure the new owner receives their title before leaving.
If your title has been lost or damaged, we can issue a replacement. We also handle lienholder removals and update official records to reflect vehicle sales..
A valid government-issued ID is required for all transactions.
