Quick Titles

Quick titles are titles that are issued and processed at authorized licensing offices. Whitfield's Licensing can provide an official WA title the same day

Quick Titles are allowed in person at an approved agent and subagent office, by mail, to vehicles and vessels with a clear WA record, to new vehicles and vessels with an MSO/MCO, and to vehicles or vessels registered in Canada purchased by WA residents or dealers.

Quick Titles can only be mailed or given to owners of record or their documented legal representative. ie: (A notarized or certified letter of authority from the legal owner, or a POA.)

Quick Titles issued to insurance companies or for insurance companies withholding payoff to the customer must be done before the record has been flagged as totaled or wrecker destroyed.

Quick Titles may not be processed if:

• There is no WA record
• For snowmobiles because they do not have titles
• A vehicle is to be newly branded as salvage, rebuilt, etc.
• When a previous title application has yet not completed
• The title is to be bonded or 3yr registration only
