Cash For Junk Cars Medina OHThe Title Office
Ohio titles are issued by the county Clerk of Courts, not the BMV. In Medina County the main Title Office is at 976 N Court St, Medina, OH 44256, open Monday through Friday 8:30 AM to 5:00 PM and Saturday 9:00 AM to noon, with branch offices in Wadsworth and Brunswick. Bring your driver's license. A duplicate title for a car in your own name is a same-visit transaction and the fee is small.
The Ohio BMV vehicle titles page explains the forms (the duplicate application is BMV 3774), and the Title Office staff are used to people replacing a title specifically so they can scrap the car.
Why the Notary Matters
Ohio Revised Code Chapter 4505 requires the seller's signature on the title assignment to be notarized. Sign it at home without a notary and the title is void, which is the most common reason a pickup has to be rescheduled. Our driver carries a notary stamp and does it at the truck, so the rule is to leave the back of the title blank until the driver is standing there.
Car in Someone Else's Name
A parent who passed, a spouse, a car bought years ago and never transferred: each has its own paperwork and the Title Office will not guess. Call (330) 238-3944 before you go and describe the situation; we tell you which affidavit or probate paper applies so the trip to Court Street happens once.
Lost title questions
Can you buy the car without any title?
In almost every case a title is required for a vehicle sale in Ohio. The exception is narrow and depends on the age of the vehicle and the paperwork you do have. Call and ask; the answer is yes or no on the phone.
How long does a duplicate title take?
For a car in your own name, usually the same visit at 976 N Court St or the branch offices. Probate situations take longer because the court paper has to exist first.
