Obtaining Title In Michigan

[Vern B]

You can apply for a lost title in a Michigan. If you don't own the car the current owner would have to do it. You could probably do the legwork for him, pay the fee and have him sign the application.

Or, you could purchase the car and process the application yourself.

I did it a few years ago on a 71 Pontiac GT 37. Not that hard to do.

Michigan changed the way to obtain a title a little over a year ago. It involves having car appraised obtaining bond insurance and paying sales tax on appraisal. Haven't done it with anything yet but it's not as easy as it used to be.

I guess my real question is, do I need a title to import this car into Canada or will a bill of sale and a valid VIN on the car suffice?
