After buying the car, you must apply for the new title and registration within 30 days. Take the signed title, a completed bill of sale, and proof of insurance to an Alaska DMV office. You will then pay the necessary title and registration fees to have the vehicle legally put in your name.
To protect yourself, use a secure and traceable payment method like a cashier's check from a bank. Avoid carrying large amounts of cash. Never transfer any funds to the seller until you have met in person, inspected the car, and have the signed title in hand.
While not always strictly required if the title is properly completed, a bill of sale is highly recommended. It serves as your official receipt and a legal record of the sale. The document should include the vehicle's year, make, model, and VIN, the final purchase price, the date of sale, and the names and signatures of both the buyer and seller.
Use our valuation tools listed on most cars listed by private seller to research the vehicle’s market value. The market values are based on the car's details, including make, model, year, mileage, and condition, to get an estimated price range. This information will empower you to negotiate a fair price with the seller.
When purchasing a car from a private party in Alaska, the seller must provide you with the original Certificate of Title. The seller must sign the title to transfer ownership to you. Make sure the name on the title matches the seller's government-issued ID. If a lien from a bank or lender is listed on the title, the seller must provide you with a lien release document.
