State-to-State
- A state-to-state transfer is a transfer of vehicle that is already in the owner's name, but registered in a different state. This is the transfer you perform when you have moved to Louisiana and need a Louisiana plate and registration.
- Most commonly needed:
- Original title
- Driver's license
- Louisiana insurance
- In some circumstances a vehicle inspection may be needed, but not always. If you have any question, please do not hesitate to give us a call!
- Prices vary widely depending on many different factors, if you would like a quote, send us a message or give us a call.
Heirship
- Heirships are title transfers involving one or more deceased individuals and their heirs. Heirship needs are dependent on the heirs, if there is a will, if there is a judgment, if there are no children/heirs etc. In order for us to know what you need, you would first need to come into the office and let us see what you have. From there we can discuss the next steps with this transaction.
Salvage/Reconstructed Titles
- Was your car totaled by the insurance company? Did you purchase a car and notice the word "Salvage" or "Reconstructed" on the front of your title? Well, you are dealing with a more complicated transfer. Depending on how the title is labeled in the state system, it may be as simple as bringing in an inspection form with the rest of your titling paperwork. But, it may end up being a double title transfer. If you just purchased the vehicle and it is labeled, "reconstructed" there is nothing different that you need to do. That label is there to let you know the vehicle was previously totaled out by insurance.
