Frequently Asked Questions
What is a branded title?
A brand is a permanent notation a state adds to a title, such as salvage, rebuilt, flood, or lemon-law buyback. The names and rules vary by state.
Does this show who holds the title or a lien?
No. Owner names and current lienholders are held by the state motor-vehicle agency. Ask the agency or the seller for a current title record.
Can a title problem be missing from a report?
Yes. Reporting varies by state and source. Confirm the title status with the state that issued it before you pay for a vehicle.
