Here’s a simple guide to transferring the vehicle title into your name. Let’s make this process smooth and stress-free!
When to Transfer a Vehicle Title:
After buying or receiving a vehicle as a gift, you have 15 days to transfer ownership into your name. If you miss this deadline, you could face penalties.
Steps to Transfer Ownership:
1. Gather Information and Forms:
Odometer Disclosure Form:
A. If the vehicle is from 2011 or newer, fill out the Odometer Disclosure section on the title.
B. For vehicles from 2010 or older, no odometer miles reporting is needed.
C. If you don't have the title, get an Odometer Disclosure form at your local vehicle licensing office (you can’t download it).
Vehicle/Vessel Bill of Sale:
Buyer and the seller need to complete this form.
2. Notarized Vehicle Title Application:
Signatures on the Vehicle Title Application form must be notarized. Don’t sign until you’re in front of a notary public or a licensing agent, both of whom can notarize it.
3. Submit Forms and Payment
4. Get Your Title:
A. Vehicle Licensing Office: Get your title in 6-8 weeks.
B. Quick Title Office: Get your title immediately in person or within a few business days by mail (additional $50 fee).
