The Michigan Secretary of State’s office is working to find options for residents to transact business without having to come into a branch in person.
The latest online option is transferring vehicle titles with the following criteria:
Both buyer and seller mush have valid a Michigan driver’s license or state ID and have a current paper vehicle title.
The vehicle must be a car, minivan, SUV, pickup, van or motorcycle, and cannot be financed by the buyer.
Other important documentation is required such as a title with buyer and seller signatures, an odometer disclosure and loan provider statements.
Proof of a valid no-fault insurance policy is also required to register a vehicle in Michigan.
Fees still apply, and online title transfers can take up to three business days to approve.
All documents and more information can be found on the Michigan Secretary of State website at Michigan.gov/SO.
