In these situations the dealer will take care of the title transfer. If the dealer fails to do so, contact PennDOT directly at 1-800-932-4600 for instructions on how to proceed.
Used Cars
Vehicle purchases rank second only to housing purchases in terms of dollars spent. Obviously, you will want to proceed cautiously when buying a vehicle. Once you've made your decision and purchased the vehicle, you'll need to transfer the title by:
- Obtaining the title from the seller
- Making sure the seller has properly completed the appropriate sections
- Bring a bill of sale if available (for in-state)
- Bring the title into our office along with your PA ID and proof of insurance (if purchasing a tag)
- Paying the 6% use tax (8% in Philadelphia and 7% in Allegheny County)
- Leave the rest to us! We will take care of all the paperwork and processing for you.
*You should have the vehicle inspected within 10 days of the purchase date if the inspection and emission stickers have expired (Driver-side windshield)*
