Is Your Title Held by a Bank or Credit Union?

Call us before visiting. Have the lienholder’s name, address, title-department fax number or email address, and account number available so we can request the title and help you prepare for the Pennsylvania titling and registration process.

For Current Pennsylvania-Titled Vehicles

For most transfers, bring:

  • A valid Pennsylvania driver’s license, ID card, or active military ID
  • The original vehicle title and current odometer reading
  • Proof of insurance when receiving a new plate or transferring an existing plate
  • Both buyer and seller, with identification, for a Pennsylvania ownership transfer
  • The current registration card when transferring a plate you already own

For an out-of-state vehicle purchased within the last six months: Bring a sales-tax receipt or other proof of tax paid. If no proof is available, Pennsylvania tax may be due.

A plate may also be transferred from a spouse, parent, or child; bring the previous registration card. Requirements vary by transaction, so call us before visiting if the vehicle has a lien, an out-of-state title, or an unusual ownership situation.
