The seller does not have the original title, either because it is lost, the vehicle is old and was never titled, or title records are incomplete. A workaround process is required to transfer legal ownership.
If the title is simply lost, apply for a duplicate title at your state DMV before the sale — this is the cleanest path. If no title ever existed, the buyer will likely need a bonded title: a surety bond valued at 1.5× the vehicle's appraised value that protects against future ownership disputes. The bond period is typically 3 years after which a clean title is issued.
Purchasing without a title carries significant risk. You may be unable to register the vehicle, and you could lose ownership if a prior lienholder or owner surfaces. Insist the seller obtain a duplicate title or provide a surety bond as part of the transaction. Verify the VIN against the NMVTIS database to check for theft or brand history.
Bonded title procedures are governed by individual state statutes (e.g., Texas Transportation Code § 501.096, California Vehicle Code § 4160). A VIN inspection by a state-certified inspector or law enforcement is typically required. Some states offer a court order or "title by affidavit" alternative for vehicles over a certain age. Purchasing a no-title vehicle from someone not on the title can constitute receiving stolen property.
