Ok here's a very unique situation that I need advice on but will probably need to contact the DMV tomorrow. I currently live in Baton Rouge and want to sell my old vehicle that I bought in Florida. The vehicle is registered and insured in my name in Florida. The title was LOST during my move from Florida 2 years ago. I have a buyer here in Baton Rouge however I do not have the tittle. What would I/the buyer have to do in order to complete this transaction? Any and all advice would be gratefully appreciated....

Did you get the vehicle registered in La?

I've only delt with registering vehicles in Fla and that's a pain in the arse.

Start here. I've had to request titles like this before. Shouldn't be a big deal of you have the Vin and and valid ID.

I would think that you will need to get a duplicate florida title and then sell it...

You need to get a duplicate title in Florida first. Then, you should be able to sell it. The buyer would then take that Florida title to the LA OMV and re-title the vehicle in LA.

I had a similar situation myself. My vehicle was registered/titled in LA, lost the title during the course of several moves/deployments, etc. I now live in AL. I had to get a duplicate title in LA,then I turned around and registered/re-titled the vehicle in AL. Sucks, since you're basically getting double tapped by fees, but unfortunately it must be done.

And you should not get rid of the vehicle without the proper documentation.

Think liability and lawsuits.
