What Is a Car Title Apostille and When Do You Need One?
A car title is an official record issued by the Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) showing the legal owner of a vehicle. It typically includes:
- Vehicle details (VIN, make, model, year)
- Registered owner name and address
- License plate number
- Lienholder information, if the vehicle is financed
When you sell, ship, export, or register your vehicle in another country, foreign authorities will not accept your U.S. car title alone.
They require an apostille (if the destination country is part of the Hague Convention) or embassy legalization (if it is not).
An apostille certifies the authenticity of the signature and issuing authority — making the document legally valid abroad.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need an apostille if I’m exporting a car?
Yes. Customs and registration agencies in most countries require proof of ownership that has been authenticated for international use.
Can Travel Visa Pro apostille a car title from any state?
Yes — but the apostille must be issued by the same state DMV that issued the title.
We handle all 50 states.
What if the vehicle is financed?
If a lienholder is listed, you will need a lien release letter before the title can be apostilled. We will advise you based on your state’s DMV rules.
What if the destination country is not part of the Hague Convention?
Your title will require embassy legalization instead of an apostille.
We handle both processes.
Can I send a scanned copy of my car title?
In many cases, yes — but it depends on the document type and state rules.
We will confirm before you send anything.
