Out of State Titles
Whether you are moving to Pennsylvania or you made a purchase in another state, Hassler’s will help make the titling process an uncomplicated one. If a trailer or vehicle was not required to be titled from a previous state, the purchaser must bring in a notarized bill of sale and a transferrable registration card.
Title Only
You may want to take ownership of a title without applying for registration. In this case, the seller and the purchaser simply need to bring state approved identification.
Title & New Plate
Hassler’s can issue a plate and registration for your car, truck, trailer, motorcycle, moped, or motorhome while you wait. If you are purchasing a motorcycle, motorhome or RV, you will need to show that you already have insurance on the same type of vehicle.
Title & Plate Transfer
When you plan to transfer a license plate from one vehicle to another, it is helpful if you bring the current or an old registration card for that plate. If you are unable to locate an old registration card, you can simply bring any of the following information: VIN, license plate number, or title number.
Title Transfer Involving Death
If the titled owner is deceased, you must have an original death certificate, or an original short certificate, or an MV39 filled out by an attending physician or funeral director. In some cases, all living heirs must sign an MV39 document. For more information on what is required in the event of death read PennDOT form MV39.
ATVs and Snowmobiles
