Where to Find the Title Number
Finding the car's title number is easy; it is usually found on the vehicle's paperwork, like the vehicle's registration and renewal document, local DMV, and obviously the car's title certification.
The title number is always written on the physical certificate of title. In most of the title certifications, the title number can be found on the section above the Vehicle Identification Number. However, keep in mind that some states use different formats, so the title number might be located elsewhere on the document.
If you haven't gotten the certification of title, you can check your car's title number on the vehicle registration document. Look for a section that details the car's make and model; some states may list the title number on the registration form.
Because the vehicle registration documentation is important, it is recommended to put the document in the car; for a faster way, just in case you need to check the car's title number on the road.
Most insurance companies typically only require your car's VIN. However, some may also ask for your car title number.
If that's the case, you can contact your insurance provider and request your title number. Be prepared to verify your identity when making the request.
If you don't have either the certificate of title or registration, visit your local DMV office. Make sure to contact the DMV office that issued your documents and bring the necessary identification, such as your ID, the vehicle's VIN, and proof of ownership, like a bill of sale. They can provide you with a copy of your car's title number.
Protip: You can ask the DMV to get you an extra copy of the title for a fee. This way, even if you lose your original documents, you'll be able to get a replacement title.
