Transferring a vehicle title is one of the most important parts of buying or selling a car — it’s how you legally become the new owner of the vehicle. In Maryland, the title transfer process has specific requirements and steps to make sure everything is done correctly and in compliance with the Motor Vehicle Administration (MVA).
When you buy a vehicle that isn’t yet fully registered — for example, a private sale or a car that still needs to pass Maryland’s safety inspection — you may need temporary registration so you can legally drive it while you finish the process. Maryland offers a 30-day temporary registration to help you complete paperwork and inspections before permanent plates are issued
Losing your vehicle title can feel stressful — especially if you’re planning to sell, register, or transfer ownership of your car. The good news is that Maryland allows vehicle owners to request a duplicate title if the original has been lost, stolen, damaged, or never received.
