Why Run a Delaware Vehicle Title Lookup?

Delaware Vehicle Title Search

Performing a DE car title search or Delaware title check is important for anyone buying, selling or insuring a vehicle in the state. This process helps:

  • Confirm ownership status – May offer a wealth of information from current registration status to the number of previous owners.
  • Avoid lien or loan disputes – The Delaware Division of Motor Vehicles processes close to 1 million vehicle registrations annually and a large percentage of these vehicles are financed and carry open liens by various financial institutions. Checking a vehicle’s sale and lien history can help identify any ownership-related disputes tied to bank and mechanic liens.
  • Identify hidden damage – There are around 30,000 car crashes reported in the state of Delaware yearly. A lot of these damaged cars are hastily repaired and put back on the road. These cars will eventually make their way to the used car market. Sellers are often incentivized to hide any signs of previous damage. To identify what lurks under that shiny paint job, it is always wise to run a full vehicle history check prior to purchase.  
  • VIN Related Fraud - VIN cloning is a serious problem in the state of Delaware. Criminals may alter the vehicle’s VIN in order to facilitate a fraudulent sale, often involving a stolen vehicle. To protect yourself from VIN-related fraud, it is vital to verify VIN details using a Delaware title search by VIN. A full report may uncover the vehicle’s title number and any potential flags related to possible theft.
  • Ensure transparency – A full vehicle history report may include details that the seller may not want you to know or may not be aware of. These details can help determine the vehicle’s true market value, safety and long-term reliability.
  • Meet DMV requirements – All title transfers must meet certain mandates in the state of Delaware. A vehicle history check can help you make sure that the vehicle’s title and registration requirements meet the state of Delaware standards for ownership transfer.
  • Verify Accurate Odometer Readings – Detect odometer rollbacks or tampered mileage that can affect resale value and trust.
  • Identify Title Brands – Check for branded titles such as salvage, rebuilt, junk or flood-damaged to understand the vehicle’s true condition.

"The seller never disclosed that the car was involved in such a big accident, he only told me it was a minor fender bender or something of that nature but when I check your report I can see that the vehicle was a total loss. Your report saved me from a lot of aggravation and stress dealing with a dishonest seller."
