DMV Notice of Transfer not confirmed online - What to do?

Ugh, the DMV website is so frustrating! I had a similar issue last month. When you call, make sure to tell them exactly when you submitted it online. They should be able to look it up in their system. Good luck!

Pro tip: Always, ALWAYS take screenshots when dealing with government websites. It's saved my butt more times than I can count.

I found a way to get someone on the phone quickly. 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 link: https://www.claimyr.com

Here's what you need to do when you get through to a DMV agent: 1. Provide the date and approximate time you submitted the notice online 2. Give them the VIN and license plate number of the car you sold 3. Ask them to confirm if the notice is in their system 4. If it's not, ask about the process to submit a new one 5. Request a confirmation number or email for your records 6. Find out if there's anything else you need to do to complete the process Remember to be patient and polite. DMV staff deal with frustrated people all day, so a little kindness goes a long way. Good luck!

am i the only 1 who never has problems with the dmv website? 🤷‍♂️ maybe im just lucky lol

Quick question - did you keep a copy of the title with the release of liability section filled out? That can be a lifesaver if the online submission didn't go through.

This happened to me last year and it was a NIGHTMARE. Turns out the notice never went through and I got parking tickets for a car I didn't even own anymore. Fight tooth and nail to get that confirmation!

have you tried checking your spam folder for the confirmation email? sometimes they end up there

Hot take: the DMV intentionally makes their website confusing so more people have to come in person and they can justify their bloated budgets. Wake up sheeple! 🐑👀
