How do you get a title if you are not sure the vehicle was in your name to begin with?

I bought a car in 2004 and never had it put in my name. The car has been sitting for two years and now I want to register the vehicle. I can not find the title, and I am not really sure if the title is in my name or not

Check the VIN at the DMV to find out. If it is not in your name, you will have to get a title from the old owner or a request for new title filled out and notarized. Plus, you will have to pay a lot in back fees. |

In most states you have 30 days after purchase to put a vehicle in your name. After 5 years you may have some horrendous fines to pay.
If you have it licensed and drove it (you said 04 but then you said it's been sitting 2 years) look at the registration. The name there should match the name on the title.
But since you said you never put it in your name, it's not even your car. You might ask the DMV for advice. |

If you never titled the vehicle in your name, it isn't in your name. As said, you should ask the person that sold it to you...to get you a fresh title for it from the DMV and have that person sign the car over to you. If you can't do that for some reason, explain the situation to the DMV and ask them what you need to do next. |
