How To Register A Striker Car

How to Register a Striker Car Without a Title

We handle the VIN swap with a similar salvage vehicle to make registration possible. Here’s the process you’ll need to follow:

1. Gather Necessary Documents

  • Bill of Sale: Get a bill of sale from the previous owner listing the vehicle’s make, model, year, VIN, and sale price.

  • VIN Verification: Have the Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) verified by the DMV, law enforcement, or a licensed mechanic.

  • Proof of Insurance: Obtain valid insurance for the vehicle.

2. Determine the Appropriate Title

  • Bonded Title: Some states allow a bonded title, which requires a surety bond to protect against potential ownership disputes.

  • Reconstructed/Rebuilt Title: If the car was previously salvaged or rebuilt, you may need to apply for a reconstructed or rebuilt title.

3. Register the Vehicle

  • Submit Registration Application: Complete your state’s registration form and submit it with all required documents.

  • Pay Applicable Fees: Cover registration fees, title fees, and any additional state-required charges.

  • Vehicle Inspection: Certain states may require an inspection by law enforcement or a licensed mechanic before registration is approved.

4. Obtain a New Title

Once the registration is processed, your DMV will issue a new title in your name.

5. Check State-Specific Rules

Registration requirements differ from state to state. Always confirm your state’s DMV rules for any additional documents, fees, or inspections that may be necessary.
