What happens if the new owner doesn legally register it and I start receiving tickets or notices from the police or DMV?
More than 50,000 vehicles were donated to nonprofit organizations last year and resold. Luckily, such stories are few and far between. That’s why it’s so important after you donate a car to take the license tags, registration and a copy of your donation receipt to the DMV to de-register the vehicle. In the unlikely occurrence that this were to happen, we will send you a letter to take to the DMV that states you donated your vehicle to Goodwill, along with a copy of the Bill of Sale that lists the new owner’s name and address. This will prove that you are no longer the legal owner and absolve you from any further action.
