LightSpeedBid does not directly notify the DMV of the sale because state law assigns that responsibility to the buyer who is filing the title transfer. However, LightSpeedBid ensures the process is fully compliant by preparing all required documents and guiding you through the seller notifications that your state may require.
The buyer submits the title transfer when they file for a new title, and this automatically updates the DMV’s records. Since LightSpeedBid works only with licensed and regulated buyers, the transfer is reliably processed. This prevents the common problem in private sales where buyers delay or forget to file the title.
Many states require the seller to submit a Notice of Transfer, Release of Liability, or similar form. LightSpeedBid gives you direct links to file this online or provides the exact mailing instructions. Filing this form protects you from tickets, toll violations, taxes, and legal responsibility for the vehicle after the sale.
Because LightSpeedBid handles the difficult parts and provides all relevant forms, the seller’s part of the DMV notification is simple and fast. The platform ensures that every step is done correctly, giving you full legal protection.
