Registration Only Title

Home / Titles / Registration Only Title

Need to register a commercial vehicle without taking ownership? A “Registration Only” title allows you to legally plate and operate a truck or trailer when you don’t hold the full title – such as in cases of leasing, lienholder control, or interstate carrier arrangements.

TFIG helps you navigate the registration-only process so your vehicle is compliant and ready for the road.

When to Use a Registration Only Title

This option is typically used when:

  • You are leasing a vehicle and need to register it under your business
  • The lienholder or leasing company holds the title
  • The title is held in another state, but registration is needed locally
  • Your operation requires registration before ownership transfer is complete

What We’ll Need

Exact requirements vary by state, but generally include:

  • Front and back copy of the current title (or leasing documentation)
  • Lease agreement or proof of authorization to register
  • Valid driver’s license or business entity paperwork
  • Power of Attorney (if needed – we provide this form for lienholders)

TFIG prepares and submits the necessary forms to the appropriate agency, ensuring your vehicle is registered correctly—without delays or rejected paperwork.

Operate legally even if you don’t hold the title. TFIG makes Registration Only filing fast and simple.
