Frequently Asked Questions
How does the title transfer work?
You’ll need to fill out a report of sale or return the plates to the DMV. We’ll let you know what to do, according to state.
There are two owners listed on the title, do we both need to sign?
Yes, both owners will still need to sign the title. The exception is New York, where just one owner needs to sign.
Can I donate a car if the owner isn’t able to sign title?
Yes. You can donate the car as long as someone has power of attorney for the titled owner.
Do I need a license to donate my car?
You will need a license to donate a car in the following states:
Delaware, Hawaii, Idaho, Michigan, Minnesota, Montana, New Jersey, New York, Rhode Island, Washington and West Virginia
How can I donate my car without a title?
If there is no title, Kars4Kids can usually apply for a duplicate title.
There is an OR between our names, do both owners need to sign the title?
If there is an OR, only one owner needs to sign. In select states, like Arizona and Minnesota, both owners will need to sign.
Can I donate a car in a deceased person’s name?
In most states, we will need original executive paperwork and a copy of the death certificate. In some states, the donor will need to get it titled in his name.
Can I donate an abandoned, junk, or scrapped car?
Kars4Kids does not accept abandoned cars. We can take cars that were salvaged or junked.
How can I replace my missing title?
If there is no title, Kars4Kids can usually apply for a duplicate title.
