Have the guy send you a copy (scan) of the title, and a future bill of sale. Explain why and he will be able to do it. Go to dmv with paperwork and they will issue

VA Allows you to print them out online. Having him print one out for you will work. You need a valid VA license number though. Done it before, and know people who have, and been pulled over with zero issues.
