The Expert Podcast

So you might be wondering why it is so hard to deal with the DMV to get a title. Are you getting the runaround for getting a car title or vehicle title from the DMV? You might think that it shouldn't have to be that hard. In fact, in this article, this woman talks about making three trips back to the DMV, back and forth to their house. And we've had clients we deal with every single day that tell us, "I've had to go back and forth with the DMV a dozen times."

Well, here's the reason why: the DMV has very specific requirements for getting a vehicle title that you have to meet before they can give you a title. Even if the person sitting at the window is sympathetic to you and they hear your story and they say, "Yeah, you're supposed to have a title," if you don't have the right paperwork, they cannot give you a title. Even if they wanted to, the system won't let them print one. A title is a legal government document issued only by that government agency, the DMV. You can't buy one from a company, and you can't download one from the internet. You have to go through the DMV.

Now, what you need to do is be prepared before you go there to make sure you understand what the requirements are. Don't guess. Don't say, "Well, I have a bill of sale; that's enough," or "I have insurance; that's enough." You have to know exactly what their requirements are. How can you find out? Well, you can use our website, cartitles.com, as a free consumer resource to get all the requirements for the DMV before you go, because if you don’t, you'll be back in your vehicle in just a few seconds.

In the meantime, remember that actualhuman.com offers you live one-on-one private video consultation with an expert in this exact subject. We want to listen to your story, we want to hear your questions, we want to give you expert advice on your options, and tell you what we know about your particular situation.

Now, back to your video: go there and have them tell you what the requirements are. You made a trip, you waited in line, you talked to them, and then you have to go home to do everything and go back again. You can get all this information in advance. You can even get the forms, all the blank forms for the DMV, print them out from our website, fill them in, follow the instructions. We even have other videos like this one that’ll explain to you exactly how to prepare these documents. That way, when you go in, you're not empty-handed. You have everything you need already done. The DMV employee will appreciate that from you, they’ll process your order faster, and you can get in and out of there in one trip, rather than having to go back and forth to get everything.

So don't leave it to chance. Don't guess and see if you think you know what it takes to get a title. Even if you got a title two years ago, the laws may have changed. Requirements may have changed—they change all the time. Not knowing what the current requirements are is going to put you in a position where you're just going to waste extra time, go back and forth, and get frustrated. Maybe the DMV person will sense that, and they might not help you as well. So use our website as a free consumer resource.

Look, dealing with the DMV is going to be bureaucratic, inconvenient, and annoying anyways. Make it easier on yourself so you don't end up like this woman, having to make three trips back and forth to get done what you want to get done.
