Services
Title processing services.
We handle the title paperwork for unclaimed and abandoned vehicles, from the first vehicle details to the completed title application.
How the work is handled
From vehicle details to title application.
Junk titles for vehicles that qualify for dismantling or scrap, and standard titles for vehicles that qualify for resale under New Jersey rules.
-
Step 00: Send us the vehicle details
VIN, plate, date towed or abandoned, and any paperwork you have.
Share what you have, such as tow records, repair orders, or notices. We review it and identify any additional documents or signatures needed.
-
Step 01: Owner and lienholder searches
Gather records and identify owners and lienholders.
We search for the vehicle’s owners and lienholders and gather the related records. The results inform the notices that follow.
-
Step 02: Notices and certified mailing
Prepare and coordinate required notices and certified mailing.
We prepare the required notices and coordinate certified mailing to the owners and lienholders identified. Which notices apply depends on the vehicle and the case.
-
Step 03: Documents and signatures
Prepare paperwork, organize supporting records, and coordinate signatures.
We prepare the paperwork, organize supporting records, and let you know which documents need your signature. Your team keeps its required decisions and approvals.
-
Step 04: Tracking and follow-up
Track responses, outstanding documents, and the next action.
We keep track of outstanding records, responses, and required actions so the next step is clear. If an owner or lienholder responds, we flag the case for review with your team before proceeding.
-
Step 05: Title application filed
We submit the completed package once required approvals are in place and let you know when the title is issued.
The application package is submitted only after the required approvals are in place.
Title issuance is subject to NJ MVC review and approval.
Title types
Junk titles and standard titles, explained.
The type of title depends on the vehicle and the case. Under New Jersey rules, not every vehicle qualifies for every title, and different procedures apply to vehicles left on public property, on private property, or at a repair facility.
Standard title
For vehicles that qualify for resale under New Jersey rules.
- Used when the vehicle and the case meet the requirements for resale.
- Not every vehicle qualifies for a standard title. Eligibility depends on the vehicle and the case.
Junk titles are not salvage titles. Salvage titles are a separate category under NJ MVC rules. Our services cover junk-title and standard-title applications where the vehicle and case qualify.
