The face of the moon was in shadow

Almost before we knew it, we had left the ground. All their equipment and instruments are alive.Mist enveloped the ship three hours out from port. The spectacle before us was indeed sublime.A red flair silhouetted the jagged edge of a wing.

02 · Frequently asked questions

Real questions about titles.

I bought the car but the title is in someone else's name. Can I drive it?+

You can, but it's a risk: legally the other person is still the owner, so tickets and accident liability follow them. Put it in your name as soon as you can.

I lost the title. Can I get another one?+

Yes, we request a duplicate from the state. We need your ID, the VIN or plate number, and the title has to be in your name.

Can I get a title without a Social Security number?+

Yes. An ITIN or foreign ID with Tennessee proof of residency is accepted.

The car still has a loan. Can it be transferred?+

Not until the lien is released. Once the bank sends the release letter, we do the transfer.

How long until the title arrives?+

Usually a few weeks by mail, depending on the state. We give you the filing receipt so you can drive while you wait.

Do you handle out-of-state titles?+

We transfer titles from Georgia, Alabama, Florida, Texas and others into Tennessee. Bring the previous state's title and we'll switch it.
