When buying a car from a private seller in Wyoming, obtaining the original Certificate of Title is essential. The seller must complete the "Assignment of Title" section on the back, including the current odometer reading and the date of sale. Crucially, the seller's signature on the title must be notarized. Do not accept a title that has not been notarized, as the County Clerk will reject the transfer.
Yes, a Bill of Sale is required in Wyoming. The bill of sale must be notarized if it is presented in lieu of a notarized title with the purchase price filled in. It serves as your official receipt and is used by the County Treasurer to calculate sales tax. The document should include the vehicle's year, make, model, and VIN, the purchase price, the date of sale, and the notarized signatures of both the buyer and seller.
You will be required to pay state and county sales tax when you register the vehicle. The tax is calculated on the purchase price listed on the notarized bill of sale or title. This tax is paid directly to your local County Treasurer's office, not to the seller. You will also pay separate fees for the title transfer and vehicle registration.
You cannot use the seller's license plates, as they must be removed at the time of sale. To legally drive the vehicle home, you must obtain a temporary registration permit. You can get this from the County Treasurer's office by presenting the notarized title and bill of sale. Driving without plates or a temporary permit is illegal.
Ensure the seller's name on their government-issued ID matches the name printed on the front of the title. Check the title for any listed lienholders, such as a bank or credit union. If a lien is present, the seller must provide you with a notarized lien release document from that financial institution. Without proof that the loan has been paid off, you will not be able to get a clear title.
