Who handles paperwork during pickup?

LightSpeedBid ensures that all paperwork during pickup is handled by the tow driver or the buyer’s designated agent. Sellers benefit from a simple, streamlined, and legally compliant process where the driver guides the paperwork step-by-step.

Paperwork at pickup typically includes:

  • Signing over the title
  • Completing a bill of sale
  • Verifying VIN and car details
  • Confirming payment
  • Providing ID if required by your state
  • Handing over keys (if available)
  • Documenting mileage (in some states)

The tow driver is trained to handle title transfer regulations for your specific state. They know exactly where you must sign, how to complete the forms properly, and what documents are needed. This avoids errors that could delay payment or cause DMV issues later.

In some states, no additional paperwork is needed beyond the title. In others, the buyer may require supplemental forms such as:

  • Odometer disclosure
  • Seller’s affidavit
  • Lien release
  • Damage disclosure
  • Notice of sale

LightSpeedBid ensures buyers comply with local state laws for salvage, scrap, and resale documentation.

If you cannot be present, alternate arrangements may include:

  • Pre-signing the title
  • Leaving documents in a secure location
  • Coordinating paperwork through a mechanic shop or storage facility

Regardless of condition, missing parts, missing keys, or storage location, the buyer handles all required legal steps.

This ensures every LightSpeedBid seller enjoys a fast, transparent, and professional paperwork experience with zero confusion and zero hassle.
