So when we moved to Canada we imported my husbands car to Canada (we are on a 3 year temporary work visa) - when he got home he realized he didn't have the US title anymore. Does anybody know if they keep it at the border?

We really didn't worry about it after it happened cause don't really need it. but now he got into an accident and the car is total loss, and insurance company wants to see the title before paying.... I searched on the internet but couldn't find anything so hoping somebody here can help.

Thank you!

You should have been given the title back by US customs when you exported the car.
