DL-135 – Pennsylvania Request for Vehicle Information (Fillable PDF)

What Is the DL-135 Form?

The DL‑135, also known as the “Request for Vehicle Information” form, is issued by the Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT). It allows individuals, businesses, and law‑enforcement agencies to request detailed records about a vehicle registered in Pennsylvania, such as ownership history, title status, and lien information.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

• Leaving fields blank: The PennDOT system rejects incomplete requests.
• Incorrect VIN or plate number: Double‑check the characters; a single typo can delay the search.
• Using the wrong purpose code: Choose the option that best matches your need (e.g., “Legal/Insurance” vs. “Personal Inquiry”).
