This seemed a bit odd and all sorts of nefarious thoughts went through my head.

I did a little research and while the laws vary from State to State it is possible for someone to claim ownership with a copy of a title. There are valid reasons for someone to ask you for a copy so dont fret. If they are working with a smaller bank or financial institution then they may require a copy though this is an antiquated procedure and you probably wont have to deal with this.

In my case I simply made a copy and with Photoshop write the words ‘COPY’ across both the front and back and then printed out the edited copy.
