A while back I saw on here somewhere about how to get a title when you have a car without one. A freind of mine bought a car out of Canada & they don't have titles up there. Need some help here anyone, thanks

Here its called vehicle registration and we can not get licence or insurance with out it. What province did your freind buy the car from?
 
Don't assume you need a title to get one. If it is correct that where you got the car didn't have titles ,your state should accept a bill of sale . We went through that in Massachusetts. They did not require titles prior to 1973 . My uncle bought his car in 1969. We went to the MBA with it and got a title,
 
In my state(Indiana) if you have a bill of sale the BMV will give you paper work to be filled out by a Police officer then you can apply for a title. Involves a search for stolen vehicles. Not difficult but time consuming, I think each state is different. Check with your BMV.
 
I just got mine, title, & YOM plate registration, with only a hand written Bill of Sale, it was fast, easy and cheap in Texas. 1 year of full coverage insurance = $157.00 Hagarty
 
I just got title to my '36 pickup in Illinois...but I had a Michigan title from the 1960's to surrender. It was signed but not dated or notorized. The lady at the DMV told me no problem if I didn't have the Michigan title as they don't expect a car from 1936 to have a title anyway. Bill of Sale would be fine.

Every state IS different.
 
Alabama only requires a bill of sale and current insurance for vehicles 35 years and older. The bill of sale needs to contain:
(a) Cost of vehicle and date of sale.
(b) Full description of the vehicle and VIN number.
(c) Complete name and address of the new owner.
 
I would ask you own DMV the question first- try to get some one up the line a bit. I have run into a ton of misinformation... California was real easy for me, I was pretty straight forward- so were they.
