Charitable vehicle donations are nearly identical to private party vehicle sales. Donors must pay off any outstanding loan or lien and provide a properly-signed off title. The charity is allowed to sell the vehicle without actually taking ownership of it by completing the dealer reassignment section of the title. If you are donating a vehicle, be sure to keep all receipts and documents issued by the charity as proof that the vehicle was donated. You should keep your license plates and surrender them or use them on another vehicle within 30 days. See Plate Surrender. Charities are required to surrender any plates left on a vehicle. If you are buying a vehicle from a charity, you must register and title the vehicle within 30 days of the sale. You must meet all of the registration requirements for a private party vehicle sale. See Registration Requirements.
