Paperwork When Selling a Car in Oklahoma

Seller's Requirements

When you sell your car, you'll need the following paperwork:

• A notarized title, signed over to the new owner.

• A bill of sale or Declaration of Vehicle Purchase Price ONLY if the purchase price is not listed on the title.

Lost Titles

If the title is lost, apply for a duplicate before trying to sell your car.

Notice of Transfer and Release of Liability

Though not mandatory, Oklahoma Tax Commission officials strongly suggest removing the bottom stub of the title (known as Oklahoma Certificate of Title Tear-Off Notice of Transfer Tab) and bringing it to your local tag office. An agent will then update your records on the computer. This will protect you against liability.

Tear-off tabs are only titles dated 2006 or newer. If you have an old title, without a tear-off tab, you can instead submit a Notice of Transfer of Ownership of a Vehicle.

Bill of Sale

As stated above, the buyer will need either a bill of sale or a Declaration of Vehicle Purchase Price to register and title your vehicle. You can, if needed, conveniently download a bill of sale from our Bill of Sale page.
