PATRICKJOINER · #11 04-09-2007, 08:34 PM

just called PA DOT again & asked them if they went back further than 10 years, or needed to fill out a different form or re send the DL 135 form.. i got the same answer as in their letter, they do not have or will not release any records that are over 10 years. called the 717 412 5300 #.. marlin, if you know a different approach, pls send me a pm, as i'd like to get title history back on a car as well.

I have a book of title info older than 10 years. Don't call them, just send in the form.

When I did my PA Title search I called PA DOT and specifically asked about getting the title history of my car. I gave the person the VIN # and they pulled up the records and told me they had info back to 1974 on the car and to send in the DL135 form with payment. Within 3-4 weeks I had the information in my hands.

I spoke to PA DMV yesterday, the person told me that they cannot go back more than 10 years ON THE SYSTEM she was using, told me to send the 135 which I did, along with a brief narrative of what I was after and a copy of what they sent me three years ago, we'll see what happens

Generally, if you send in the 135, check off 'title history', they will search the 'purged records' automatically. Sometimes however, they can't find all of the purged records, bummer.

I just got a PA title search back yesterday and it went back to 1976. It looks like it was a copy from their microfiche because it had an additional record on the document for a 1969 VW, which I didn't ask for.

Take Marlins advice and send in the DL135 form...It took about 3 weeks.

Good luck.
