Selling a car with a lost or damaged title is simple with LightSpeedBid, because the platform provides a complete guided process based on your state rules. When you enter your vehicle details and ZIP code, LightSpeedBid identifies whether your state allows the sale of a car without a title. Many states allow the sale of junk vehicles without a title as long as the seller presents identification and signs a disposal affidavit or junk certificate. In these states, LightSpeedBid will show you only buyers who accept no title vehicles.
If your state requires a replacement title, the platform provides detailed instructions for requesting one. This includes the official DMV form, fee amount, mailing address or online submission portal, acceptable identification, and estimated wait times. Some states offer instant duplicate titles, while others provide same day service at DMV offices.
If your title is damaged, such as torn, stained, or faded, buyers may still accept it if the VIN, owner name, and signature areas are legible. If any critical area is unreadable, LightSpeedBid will guide you to request a duplicate. The platform also supports special cases like lien releases, inherited vehicles, and name discrepancies.
