Frequently asked questions:

1) How do I Register And Title a Vehicle In Pennsylvania

All new residents are required to apply for a Pennsylvania title and registration within 20 days of establishing residency in Pennsylvania.

In order to do so, you will need:

A valid title for all the vehicles you want to register in Pennsylvania, in your name, from the previous state. If you do not have the title because there is a valid lien on it, we will need to request it from your lien holder. Please bring your previous registration, your account number, your lien holder’s name, phone number and fax number where we can fax our letter requesting the title be sent to us. (There is a fee for this service.) **If you have not owned your vehicle for at least 6 months, you will have to pay 6% sales tax on the fair market value of the vehicle.**

Proof of current Pennsylvania automobile insurance for all the vehicles you will be registering. Acceptable proof of insurance includes a valid insurance ID card, a declaration page, a binder, or an application. If you are registering a motorcycle, valid proof of insurance is needed for the specific motorcycle you are registering.

Valid proof of identification. All owners of the vehicle must be present with a valid identification. Acceptable proof of identification includes Pennsylvania driver’s license, Pennsylvania identification card, Pennsylvania photo exempt driver’s license, Pennsylvania photo exempt identification card, or a U.S. Armed Forces common access card.

The odometer reading on all the vehicles you are registering.

Please bring the vehicle with you. In order to process the title transfer, we need to visually verify the Vehicle Identification Number (VIN). If you are unable to bring the vehicle with you, the following substitutes are acceptable: a tracing of the VIN with all digits legible, a photo of the VIN with all digits legible, or an MV-41 form filled out by a Pennsylvania inspection mechanic, police officer, or marshal provost. If the vehicle is a pickup truck or trailer, we will also need to verify the gross weights. The sticker with the listed gross weights is located inside the driver’s side door on pickup trucks and on the frame of trailers. If there are no gross weights listed on your title, pickup truck, or trailer, an MV-41 form must be filled out by a Pennsylvania inspection mechanic.

All vehicles newly registered in Pennsylvania must be state inspected and emissions tested (if applicable) within 10 days of the registration date.

*State and service fees apply*
