If you are trying to get a car title loan and you only have the bill of sale from your car’s transaction, you might be wondering can you get a title loan with a bill of sale. Unfortunately, you cannot get a car title loan with just your bill of sale. However, you may be able to get a car title loan by using the vehicle’s title by inquiring about a car title loan serviced by LoanMart.

What is a Bill of Sale?

The bill of sale is like a receipt for the car you purchased. Not all states require it, but some state Department of Motor Vehicles (“DMV”) require you to obtain a bill of sale. It can be an important part of the vehicle process for both the buyer and the seller. It leaves a paper trail just in case anything happens with the car.

One requirement to get a title loan is that the borrower must provide a qualifying vehicle title as collateral. There are no substitutions for this requirement, meaning you cannot get a title loan with just a bill of sale. So, if all you have is the bill of sale in your name, you will have to obtain the vehicle title in your name as well. There are several ways you could obtain a vehicle title using your bill of sale.

Bill of Sale and Transferring a Car Title

If you have a bill of sale because you just purchased a vehicle, you can use that bill of sale to get your vehicle title in your name. After you purchase a vehicle from someone, one of the first things you should do is transfer the title to your name. Most states have a certain deadline for you to submit all the transfer documents in order for them to be accurate. Make sure you do not miss those deadlines by visiting your state’s DMV website.

Transferring the title also ensures the car rightfully belongs to you. It helps ensure the safety of the seller in case anything happens to the car in your possession. If it gets into a wreck or something else happens to it, the owner of the car can be held accountable for the damages if their name is still on the title.

Before you apply for a car title loan, make sure you have the car title in your name before you begin the process. If the car title is not in your name, you will not be able to use it to get a car title loan and pay your bills.

Lost or Stolen Car Title

If you only have the bill of sale because you’ve lost your title, or it was stolen, you can request a new car title from the DMV. By submitting information like the vehicle’s registration card and the bill of sale, you can get your new car title to apply for a car title loan.

Check with your local DMV to see if they print the same day or if you will receive a new one in the mail.
