A vehicle title is the standard proof of ownership and is typically required to complete a sale. Requirements vary by state and vehicle situation.
If your title is missing, we provide general guidance to help you understand what documentation may be required under your state’s regulations. This may include items such as a valid photo ID, current registration, bill of sale, insurance documentation, or a lien release, where applicable.
Having the proper documentation in place helps ensure a smooth and efficient sale. Our team will clarify next steps so you know how to move forward with confidence.
In some states, older vehicles, particularly those sold for parts or recycling, may not require the same documentation as newer vehicles.
Requirements can vary depending on the vehicle’s age, condition, and your state’s regulations. In these situations, additional documentation or verification may still be required before the sale can move forward.
Additional documentation or verification may be required if the vehicle is not currently in your name, was inherited, has an outstanding lien, or the title was lost years ago. In some cases, applying for a duplicate title through your local DMV may be necessary before completing the sale.

Speedy, efficient and competitive
Could not speak highly enough of the APEX team customer experience, they made the whole process of selling my vehicle so smooth, from start to finish (collection).
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Excellent customer service end to end
I had a car I loved as much as a pet. It was one of the last things I could directly tie to my late dad. When it decided to die horrifically, Apex Ave, especially Michele, was kind, friendly, and straight forward in getting the vehicle where it needed to go, and helped negotiate a fair price.
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Process was super easy
Process was super easy. Got a quote over the phone and my vehicle was picked up at the agreed upon price. Fast and simple. Great customer service.
