Can I Get a Car Title Loan with an Out of State Title?

July 16, 2019

Many of us work hard to stay on top of our bills, but no matter how hard we try, sometimes there are circumstances beyond our control. Unexpected medical expenses, bills we fall behind on, car repairs, and any number of other financial surprises can come up at any time. A lot of Americans don't have the savings to cover these expenses. Getting a loan from a traditional lender so you can pay bills is a trick business. Banks and other traditional lenders ask questions about why you need the money, and when you tell them you need to pay bills, they may not be excited about offering a loan. Maybe your credit score simply isn't high enough to get a loan from a traditional lender. These are just a few of the reasons a car title loan is such an attractive alternative for many consumers.


Car title loans are easy to get at TitleSmart. We specialize in providing auto title loans to consumers who have found themselves faced with some of those unexpected financial emergencies we've talked about above. We understand that having a financial emergency can truly put strain on your life, and we're here to help alleviate that strain. Title loans at TitleSmart couldn't be easier. All you need is a vehicle with a clear title, proof of residency, proof of an income that will allow you to meet the payment requirements of your loan, personal identification, and a few other basic documents. We know that needing money in an emergency can be stressful, so our goal is to give you the best auto loan experience we can.

What If My Car Title is Out of State?

While having an out of state title can prevent you from getting a car title loan in some states, other states allow this. It's always important to check with the car title loan company you wish to get a car title loan from before you begin the loan process. Even if you have an out of state car title, it is easy to get that titled registered in the state in which you want to apply for the car title loan. When you move to a new state, you will typically have 30 days or so to license and title your vehicle in the state where you wish to become a resident. To register your vehicle, you will need to go through the DMV or whatever the name of the motor vehicle services department is in your state. You will need to complete an application form, which could be hard copy or online.

To complete vehicle registration, you will need to list your car's make, model, year, VIN, the date of purchase, etc. You may also need to provide:

• Proof of residency in the state you are registering your vehicle
• Original title and registration from previous state
• An applicable tax-form
• Vehicle registration payment

Rules and regulations vary from state to state, but if you live in a state that allows you to get a car title loan with an out of state title, you can immediately apply for a title loan. If you need to have a title registered in the state where you will be getting the loan, you can easily get that done and still apply for your title loan.


At TitleSmart, we want to help you get the money you need fast. For many people, credit scores prevent them from obtaining loans. Don't worry about that here. At TitleSmart, we don't run credit checks. We aren't concerned with credit scores. That means you can have good credit, bad credit, or no credit. It won't make a difference. We base the amount of your loan on the equity in your vehicle, so your credit score is not a factor.

We also don't ask you questions about why you need the money. We feel that is your business. You can use the money from your loan for bills or simply to make a new purchase for something you've been wanting to buy. As long as you have a car title with a clear title and the required documents, we will be able to get you the loan you need.
