To transfer ownership, you must complete the back of your Certificate of Title. You need to:
Sign your name as the seller (all registered owners must sign if their names are joined by "and").
Print your name.
Enter the buyer's full legal name and address.
Fill in the date of the sale.
Enter the odometer reading (required for vehicles under 20 years old).
Do not use white-out or erase mistakes. Any alterations will void the title. If you make a mistake, do not cross it out; you will likely need to apply for a replacement title before completing the sale.
You cannot legally sell a vehicle without a title in Oregon. If yours is lost, stolen, or damaged, you must apply for a replacement title using the Application for Replacement Title (Form 735-515). If there is a lien on the vehicle, you must pay off the loan first. The lender will then release the interest, allowing you to obtain a clear title to sign over to the buyer.
Yes. A Bill of Sale is required for all private vehicle sales in Oregon. It serves as a legal receipt and proof of the transaction. You should use the official Bill of Sale (Form 735-501) available from the DMV. This document must include:
The vehicle's year, make, model, VIN, and license plate number.
The purchase price and date of sale.
The full names and signatures of both the seller and the buyer.
Both parties should keep a signed copy for their records. The buyer will need the original to register the vehicle.
No. Oregon is one of the few states with no sales tax on vehicles. Private sellers do not collect sales tax. However, the buyer will be responsible for paying title and registration fees to the DMV.
Not strictly required for the sale itself, but highly recommended if you live in the Portland or Medford areas. In these DEQ boundaries, the buyer will need a passing emissions test to register the car. If the current tags are expired or about to expire, providing a passing DEQ certificate makes your car much more attractive to buyers and simplifies their registration process.
In Oregon, the license plates generally stay with the vehicle. You should leave the plates on the car when you sell it, unless they are custom or specialized plates that you wish to keep. If you keep the plates, you must inform the DMV.
Always meet in a public, well-lit location. The parking lot of a police station, a bank, or a busy shopping center are excellent choices. Avoid meeting at your home if possible. When offering a test drive, always verify the buyer's driver's license and ride along with them.
