When can I do a title-only sale?
 
Answer:

Dealers must apply for both a title and registration with every retail sale unless one of the following explanations is provided in the Remarks section:

  • "Title Only - No Registration - Vehicle Inoperable". This means the vehicle is not driveable. The vehicle must be towed or trailered from the dealership.
  • "Title Only - No Registration - Customer's Request". This means the customer requests no registration. The dealer must also enter the method of delivery: "Vehicle Towed", "Vehicle Trailered", or "Vehicle Delivered on Dealer Plate".
  • "Salvage" Salvage vehicles are not eligible for registration.
