Buyer and seller must come in. Seller must bring the original PA Title and valid PA Drivers license or ID card. The buyer must bring their valid PA Drivers license or PA ID card along with a valid insurance card listing the vehicle to be purchased. (You need to contact your current auto insurance agent and add the vehicle to your insurance and have them email you a new current Insurance card.)
If the buyer is going to use a current valid registration plate from another vehicle you need the registration card and current insurance card from that vehicle.
PA Sales tax will be due based on the price of the vehicle. If the price of the vehicle is less than 80% of the current market value, (PennDot checks the value in the online system), then and additional form is required explaining the reason to be signed by both the buyer and seller.
The buyers address on the drivers license MUST be current or have a change of address card issued by PennDOT.
An existing registration plate may be transferred between spouses or between parents including step-parents or parents in-law and their children including step children or children in-law.
