How Do You Sell a Car With a Lost Title in Ohio?
Selling a car with a lost title in Ohio requires obtaining a replacement title from a county Clerk of Courts Title Office using BMV Form 3774 before transferring ownership. Private buyers need a physical title to register the vehicle, but selling to a licensed automotive buying center streamlines the process by handling duplicate title applications on site. Understanding Ohio’s joint ownership rules and completing proper paperwork helps avoid delays in selling a vehicle.
