You call a person that sells bonds and get a defective title bond.
Look in the yellow pages under bonds. car253

In California if the car is valued at less than $4000, you don’t need a bond.
go to the DMV or AAA Auto Club with the plate number or last registration. they can tell you if the car is stolen, if there’s a lien, if the last owner filed a Release of Liability (but they won’t tell you who the owner was) or the last time it was registered. that is IF it’s still on record. After 4 years of no registration cars will “fall off record” and then you need to bring the car in for a physical inspection. You have a car with “unavailable record” Fill out form REG 256 Statement of Facts explaining how, when, and from whom the vehicle was acquired. What effort was made to contact the last owner to obtain evidence of ownership and why it was unobtainable.
If you know the known owner, then send him a REG 227 and REG 262 for his signatures. If the envelope comes back unopened, then don’t open it, but put it with your papers as proof that you did your “due diligence” in trying to find the last owner. Get the current value of the vehicle. from Kelly blue Book.
Pay fees, and it’s yours vicki g

That depends on the state in oklahoma all you have to do is file for a lost title/ abandoned vehicle. A tag agency helped me with that part they tried to contact the previous owner, waited 30 days and then sent me a new title it was actually pretty pain free. If I were you i would go to the tag agency and ask first, that might save you a lot of time waiting at the DMV. Harrison
