Vehicle Title Check by State

Title rules vary dramatically state to state — a "salvage" title in California means something different than in Texas or New Jersey. TitleFrog maintains up-to-date title verification guides for all 50 states, including DMV fees, branded title categories, and state-specific fraud patterns.

What Are Branded Titles? — TitleFrog

What Are Some Risks to Look Out for on a Used Car Title?

Buying a used car is already hard, once you’ve checked out the car and negotiated a price, you still have to be sure the title checks out. Each state has their own template, and there are many factors in a title that can be a sign of potential fraud, issues with transferability of ownership after purchase, previous damage or risks to the longevity of the vehicle, and more!

Non-Transferable Titles

Various factors can make a title non-transferable in a private party purchase.

Branded Titles

Make sure you know if the vehicle is under a rebuilt, salvage, theft, or other title brand.

Counterfeit/ Altered Titles

Counterfeit titles can cause big problems, but even valid titles that are altered before purchase can cause major headaches.

Hidden Issue Titles

Along with major risks, many titles can have hidden issues, such as not being the most current title for the vehicle.
