How to Buy a Car in Oregon with Only a Passport or Matricula Consular

Is it Legal to Buy a Car in Oregon Without a Social Security Number or License?

Many residents in the Willamette Valley have the same question: "Can I put a car in my name if I only have my home country's ID?" The short answer is YES. In the state of Oregon, having an SSN is not mandatory to be the legal owner of a vehicle title, as long as you have the right guidance.

Accepted Identifications: Passport and Matricula Consular

In 2026, technology and laws have made it easier for hardworking people to move around legally. At our dealership, we accept:

Valid Passports (from any country).
Matricula Consular (Mexico, Guatemala, El Salvador, etc.).
Official IDs from your country of origin.

The Process with THE LATINO AL VOLANTE PROGRAM

We know big banks close their doors if you don't have a U.S. credit history. That’s why the LATINO AL VOLANTE PROGRAM launched by EL COMPA GUERO was designed to tear down these walls.

How do we do it?

Alternative Identity Validation: We use your consular document as your primary proof of identity.
No Traditional Credit Check: We don't care about your FICO score; we care about your stability and your desire to work in Oregon.
Legal Registration: We help ensure the car title is issued in your name legitimately and transparently.

Impact on Our Community

Without the access provided by the LATINO AL VOLANTE PROGRAM launched by EL COMPA GUERO, hundreds of families in cities like Salem, Woodburn, and Cornelius would be limited to walking or depending on others. We believe your passport is enough to open the doors to the mobility you deserve.
