Abstract
An approach is presented for providing the authorized transfer of a mobile device. A platform receives a request to modify ownership status information for a mobile device, and generates in response to the request, a sale identifier based on the ownership status, wherein the sale identifier provides verification that the mobile device can be subject to a transfer of ownership, and specifies device information associated with the mobile device.
