VYN is a private registration service, not a DMV office. We are licensed by the California DMV as a registration service (Occupational License #82554) and we do the paperwork for you. Government fees are set by the DMV and are separate from our service fee.
What we can help with
Registering a car you just bought depends on where it came from, and each route needs different paperwork.
- First-time California registration
- Recently purchased vehicles
- Private-party purchases
- Auction vehicles
- Dealer paperwork assistance
- Title and ownership review
- Registration and plate transactions
- VIN verification when applicable
How it works
We check the record
We look at what the DMV is asking for on your vehicle and tell you exactly which documents to bring.
We complete the registration
Bring or send the documents and we handle the transaction, so the vehicle ends up registered in the right name.
What to bring
- Your title or other ownership documents
- The bill of sale or purchase paperwork
- Registration documents, if you were given any
- Valid identification
Not sure?
Private sales, dealer purchases and auction vehicles all need different documents. Send us a photo of what you were given and we will tell you what is missing.
Fees and requirements vary. Eligibility, government fees and processing time depend on the vehicle record and the transaction. We confirm your exact situation before anything is filed.
What it costs
Two separate numbers, and we never blend them into one.
Our service fee
What VYN charges to handle the transaction for you. We quote it before anything is filed, so you always know it up front. Call and we will give you the number in a minute — free, no obligation.
DMV fees
Set by the state, not by us. They depend on your vehicle and on the transaction, and they are paid to the DMV. We show you the exact amount, always separate from our fee.
