In order to register the vehicle in your name and get it licensed, the title usually must be notarized and signed by the seller, or a bill of sale is needed. Since you have neither and the seller is not available, you’ll need to contact your local DMV.
Some states offer procedures where they try to contact the seller on your behalf. If that fails within a certain time frame, you might be able to register the vehicle in your name. This process can take several weeks and is usually the only option in this type of situation.
Is there anything else I can help you with today?

I understand your situation. Can you confirm if you have any documentation showing the transfer of ownership for the vehicle?
No, I only have the title.
Lexi, Chatbot
Have you tried contacting the previous owner to obtain a bill of sale or any other relevant paperwork?
Yeah, but no response. The seller is not available.
Lexi, Chatbot
Have you purchased the vehicle, and is it yours to own outright?
Yes.
Lexi, Chatbot
Thank you for confirming. Have you attempted to get the title notarized and signed by the seller?
No, the seller is unavailable.
