Purchasing a Vehicle from Out-of-State
Every state has different processes and requirements for titling a vehicle, so when purchasing a vehicle from out-of-state, please contact the Clerk of Courts Title Office for information as to the required documentation.

Out-of-State Motor Vehicle lnspection
When purchasing a vehicle or converting a title that is from another state, an out-of-state Motor Vehicle Inspection is required, and can be obtained from most new car dealers or any Deputy Registrar. This inspection verifies the vehicle's identification number, description, and mileage. Only used vehicles require out-of-state inspections. New vehicles that have never been titled are exempt. Take the completed inspection form along with the required paperwork to any Clerk of Courts Title Office. There are fees associated with this inspection.
