  • (Sometimes) bill of sale or VIN photos
• Remember: No official court forms exist for this — you must write it from scratch
• Courts won’t typically walk you through the process or offer templates
• Avoid delivering your petition in person — mail is preferred
• Once the court approves, you'll receive a court order directing the DMV to issue a title
