Get Your Vehicle History From the State of Alabama
by: Legal Services Alabama
Need to know the title history for your car? Follow these steps to get the report from the State of Alabama.
You can ask the State of Alabama to send you a complete title history on a car, truck or van.
You will need to fill out the form Request for Motor Vehicle Records.
You must have the Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) for your vehicle to put on the form. The VIN is 17 digits including letters and numbers. On most vehicles, this number is on top of the front dashboard, close to the windshield. You will be able to read it through the windshield on the driver's side.
On the form, you must list a reason you want this information. There is a list on the back of the form:
- If you own the car, enter A to ask for its vehicle history.
- If a company owns the car, enter B to ask for the vehicle history.
- If a person owns the car, enter C to get the history. You will need a signed release from the person who owns the car.
Check the block to request "The complete title history (available for the previous 10 years) of the vehicle above".
This will cost $15.00 - you must send a money order with your request.
Mail your completed form and money order to:
Alabama Department of Revenue
Motor Vehicle Division
P.O. Box 327610
Montgomery, Alabama 36132-7610
