What is the safest way to hand off my title at pickup?

The safest way to hand off your title at pickup is to follow LightSpeedBid’s verified handoff procedure, which ensures the document is exchanged properly, legally, and without risk. When you decide to sell my car fast, sell my junk car, or get cash for a damaged vehicle, the moment of transferring the title is the most important step. LightSpeedBid has a strict and secure process designed to protect sellers from fraud, errors, or unauthorized claims.

The safest method includes the following steps:
• Confirm the buyer and tow operator through your LightSpeedBid dashboard.
• Have your valid ID ready so the driver can confirm that the name on the title matches your identity.
• Sign the title only in the seller section indicated by LightSpeedBid’s instructions.
• Never sign the buyer section. The buyer will complete that part.
• Hand the title to the tow driver only after they verify your identity and agree to the offer amount.
• Receive payment first if your state allows payment preceding the handoff.
• Take a photo of the signed title for your records.
• Receive the proof of pickup generated by LightSpeedBid.

If your state requires notarization, LightSpeedBid ensures that the driver is a notary or that the transfer is completed notarized ahead of time.

LightSpeedBid strictly prohibits any unauthorized person from picking up a vehicle. Every driver is logged, assigned, and verified. This prevents identity scams, title theft, or illegal transfers.

By following LightSpeedBid’s secure process, sellers complete the handoff safely and fully protected.
