Michigan rules, made simple
What Michigan sellers should know
A few state-specific details trip people up. Here’s how each one works, and how we handle it with you.
Your plate stays with you
In Michigan the plate belongs to you, not the car. Take it off before pickup, then move it to your next vehicle or turn it in to the Secretary of State.
No notary needed
Michigan titles don’t need to be notarized. You sign and print your name in the seller section, and we fill in the rest together.
Mileage goes on the title
The title has an odometer section. We read the mileage together at pickup and record it, so it matches your offer.
Lost your title?
You can order a duplicate from the Secretary of State. Tell us up front and we’ll explain what to do so the sale doesn’t stall.
Call your insurer after
Once the car is sold and the plate is off, cancel the policy or move the coverage to your next car.
Salt and rust are expected
Michigan winters are rough on cars. Underbody rust is priced in, it doesn’t stop us from making an offer.
