All used vehicles must be titled with OMV. To title a used vehicle, the following items must be mailed or delivered to the OMV Headquarters or may be processed in an OMV office or at a Public Tag Agent location:

• A completed vehicle application form (DPSMV 1799)
• "Current" certificate of title assigned before a notary by seller to purchaser, with the properly released lien, if applicable. If the bill of sale, invoice, or title is notarized, the file will be acceptable
• If the vehicle is less than ten (10) years old and the back of the title does not contain an Odometer Disclosure Statement, a supplemental Odometer Statement must be submitted.
• An authorized agent of a federally insured financial institution may witness assignment instead of a notary when:
  
  • The seller is present.
  • A lien is being recorded at the time ownership is transferred.
  • A designation of authorized officers on letterhead of the federally insured financial institution (or otherwise identifying the financial institution) is provided as either an original document or a photocopy.
  • NOTE: Act of Donation must be notarized.
• Original notarized bill of sale or invoice specifying the actual consideration involved and full description of vehicle. If an invoice from a dealer is submitted, the full description of the trade-in vehicle (if any), and the dealer's current permit number must be indicated.
  • It is only necessary to notarize the bill of sale, invoice, or title. However, if a trade vehicle is listed on the bill of sale, it must be notarized.
  • If a tax credit is shown on an invoice, the invoice must be notarized.
    • Exception: If the state is a non-notary state, then the invoice is not required to be notarized.
  • A separate bill of sale is not required if the selling price is included on a title with a notarized assignment.
  • If the vehicle sale occurs in a state with a notarial requirement, the itemized invoice submitted must be the original and notarized. If the original is lost, a certified true copy can be accepted.
  • A carbon copy of a bill of sale can be accepted if being submitted from a state that does not require notarization.
• Original or copy of properly completed UCC-1 form (financing statement) or other security agreement, if a lien is to be recorded.

If you wish to obtain a license plate, in addition to the items above, the following must be included:

• A copy of each vehicle owner’s current and valid photo identification (driver’s license or identification card issued by this state or another state).
• Proof of liability insurance coverage (unless the vehicle transfer is being submitted by a licensed vehicle dealer).
