-
Signed Title at Pickup
Do not sign early. The driver will show you where and when to sign for the Michigan Secretary of State.

Your Plates

Loan Payoff or Lien Release
Contact your lender first. The Michigan Secretary of State will not process a transfer with an open lien.

Driver License or State ID
One of the two, unexpired, in the seller's name.

Nothing to Fix First
You do not need to make the car run, pass a test, or clean it out before the driver arrives.
