FAQ
Thankfully, the DMV allows for vehicles to be sold with a bill of sale (aka, without a title) so the short answer is YES – you can sell a car without a title.
Additional Reasons You Cannot Sell a Car Without a Pink Slip If the state you are purchasing the vehicle from does NOT issue titles for your particular vehicle you must get what is called a “title verification letter” so that the California DMV will accept a bill of sale in lieu of a title.
This is because state laws can vary when it comes to car title ownership. For example, in the state of California, you're required to present your bill of sale to register the vehicle or to have your title transferred.
The signatures legally bind the document, confirming that both parties agree to the terms of the sale as described. Witness or Notarization (If Required): Depending on the item being sold or local requirements, a witness's signature or notarization may be necessary to validate the Bill of Sale.
If you have a bill of sale for your car, you can get a title for it. It just requires a bit of research and a few extra steps. Having the title can streamline your car ownership experience, proving legal ownership and serving as a vital form of record for your local DMV.
If you don't have the California Certificate of Title, you need to use an Application for Replacement or Transfer of Title (REG 227) to transfer ownership. The lienholder's release, if any, must be notarized. The buyer should then bring the completed form to a DMV office and we will issue a new registration and title.
For motor vehicles, you can use the form that the state of California provides (Form Reg-135) or you can draft an original document. California does not provide an official Bill of Sale for livestock. If you buy or sell a horse in California, you will need to draft your own bill of sale.
Sure a bill of sale can be handwritten. As a matter of fact, it appears that a bill of sale is not technically required in California. It is just highly recommended.
The CA DMV allows you to replace your CA car title online, by mail, or in person.
