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.
