To sell a vehicle through LightSpeedBid, you need a valid government issued ID that matches the name on the vehicle title. This can include a driver’s license, state identification card, passport, military ID, or other government recognized identification. Buyers use this ID to verify ownership and ensure that the person handing over the vehicle is the legal owner or authorized representative.
If your ID has a slightly different address from the one on the title, this is usually not a problem. The ID must confirm your identity, not your address. LightSpeedBid explains when a proof of address or supporting document might be useful, such as in cases of inherited vehicles or name changes.
If your name has changed since the title was issued such as after marriage or divorce, you may need to show proof such as a marriage certificate, divorce decree, or name change document. LightSpeedBid guides you through this process and shows you buyers who accept these documents.
If the owner cannot be present, a legally valid power of attorney can authorize someone else to complete the sale. LightSpeedBid explains how to prepare and verify this document.
Identification ensures the sale is legal, prevents fraud, and protects sellers during the process. With LightSpeedBid, the ID check is simple, quick, and designed entirely around seller safety.
