What does it mean if a vehicle doesn’t come with a title?

If a vehicle is listed with a description like “Certificate of Destruction for Export Only. U.S. Customers, Parts Only. No Title,” it means the vehicle is not eligible for a legal title or registration for use on public roads in the United States.

These vehicles are typically:

  • Intended only for export outside the U.S.
  • Suitable for parts or salvage use only
  • Permanently ineligible for registration or titling in any U.S. state

Important: A Certificate of Destruction is a title designation that indicates the vehicle has been deemed non-repairable and must not be returned to the road. U.S. buyers may only purchase such vehicles for dismantling or parts.

If you have any questions about vehicle title specifics, feel free to call RideSafely support at (215) 289-0300 for export guidance.
