DMV Notice of Transfer didn't confirm - What now?
Hey everyone, I just sold my car and submitted the notice of transfer to the DMV online. The problem is, the page closed before I got a confirmation and now I'm not sure if it went through. Has anyone else had this issue? I'm worried about getting stuck with tickets or fees if the new owner does something stupid. Any advice on how to make sure the transfer was recorded?

Ugh, the DMV website is such a pain! I had a similar issue when I was trying to renew my registration. Have you tried logging back in to see if theres any record of the transfer?

I found a method to get someone on the phone at the DMV. I used this site's (claimyr.com) calling tool that dials the phone menu, stays on hold, waits for a live agent to pick up, then sends the call to my phone. It does cost $20, but it works. Here's the URL: https://claimyr.com

•Sounds too good to be true. Does it really work?

•Idk man, paying to talk to a government agency feels wrong. Shouldnt this be free?

•I get it, but think about how much your time is worth. For me, not sitting on hold for 3 hours is def worth $20

Pro tip: Always screenshot your confirmation page when dealing with the DMV online. Learned that the hard way 😅

Have you checked your email? Sometimes they send a confirmation there even if the website doesnt show it.

This happened to me last year. Here's what you need to do: 1. Call the DMV (I know, it sucks) 2. Ask for a 'Notice of Transfer and Release of Liability' status 3. If they can't find it, file a new one over the phone 4. Get a confirmation number and write it down! 5. Follow up with a certified letter to the DMV with all the details It's a pain, but it'll save you from potential headaches down the road. Good luck!

Is there a local DMV office you can visit? Sometimes its easier to sort these things out in person.
