Many good cars have salvage titles, but use extra care and ask about repairs and how the vehicle sustained damage. A “double transfer” will be processed and taxes are due on both transactions.ħ. If the documents submitted were notarized in Louisiana, and the seller cannot provide an out-of-state drivers license, it is assumed that the registered owner shown on the out-of-state title has become a resident of Louisiana and must pay use tax. Alternatively, the title & bill of sale must be notarized in a state other than Louisiana, or the seller can provide a notarized affidavit stating that he is not a resident of Louisiana and list his out of state address. If the seller has an out of state title- like if the car is titled in Texas- the seller needs to provide a copy of their out-of-state drivers license. Not getting a copy of an out-of-state-license for an out-of-state vehicle. In Louisiana, titles are brown, and slightly smaller than an 8.5 x 11 piece of paper–if you don’t have that, you will not be able to complete the transfer.Ĩ. If a seller hands you a registration, that’s helpful to verify information, but cannot be used for a sale. The TITLE is the document that transfers ownership. Tip: If someone tells you it’s their car simply because they are driving it…run away.ĩ. If two people are listed as titled owners, you will need BOTH PEOPLE to sign as sellers. Make sure the person who is selling you the car is the person listed as the titled owner.
