Need a Duplicate Title Before Selling Your Vehicle?
Selling a vehicle in California requires a valid certificate of title (often called a pink slip). If yours is lost, stolen, or damaged, you must obtain a duplicate title before the transaction can be finalized. We help sellers complete all necessary paperwork, including the Application for Duplicate or Paperless Title (REG 227). Once processed, we can immediately process a pink slip transfer for the new buyer.
From verifying smog checks and resolving registration penalties to submitting your duplicate title request and filing the new owner profile, Diana handles the entire transaction in one seamless office visit.

If your vehicle also needs a vehicle registration renewal, we can process both requests in one visit.
