What this site is
Plate & Title explains how to handle vehicle paperwork state by state: transferring a title, registering a car and what it costs. We collect the rules from official state sources, write them in plain language and link back to the source.
Who is behind it
Plate & Title is published by Yehor Panfilov, an independent publisher based in Ukraine. Guides are drafted with AI assistance and checked by the publisher against the official pages listed in each guide before they are published. We do not present AI output as personal experience, and we do not claim expertise we do not have.
How we verify
- Official sources first. Fees, deadlines and forms come from state agency pages, statutes or fee schedules. We list them at the bottom of each page.
- We show the date. Each page shows the date we last compared it with its sources.
- Rules change. We cannot promise that a page is current on the day you read it. Confirm with your state before you pay or sign.
- Corrections. If you find an error, email us with the page and the source that shows the right figure. We check it against the source and update the page.
The full process is in our editorial policy.
How we are funded
The site is supported by display advertising, clearly labelled as advertising. Ads are kept away from checklists, calculators and results. We do not take payment from agencies, dealers, insurers or title services to change what a page says.
