To transfer ownership, you must complete the "Assignment of Title" section on the back of your Certificate of Title. You need to:
Enter the buyer's full legal name and address.
Fill in the exact odometer reading.
Enter the date of the sale and the purchase price.
Sign and print your name exactly as it appears on the front of the title.
Do not use white-out or erase mistakes. Any alterations can void the title, requiring you to apply for a replacement before you can complete the sale.
No. Wisconsin does not require the seller's signature on the title to be notarized for a standard private party sale.
You cannot legally sell a vehicle without a title in Wisconsin. If yours is lost, stolen, or damaged, you must apply for a replacement title using Form MV2119 (Replacement Title Application). You can often do this online through the WisDOT website. If there is a lien on the vehicle, you must pay off the loan first. The lender will then release the lien, allowing you to obtain a clear title to sign over to the buyer.
While the title is the primary legal document, a Bill of Sale is highly recommended. It serves as a legal receipt and proof of the transaction details for both parties. You should use the official Bill of Sale (Form MV2928). This document includes:
The vehicle's year, make, model, and VIN.
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.
No. Private sellers do not collect sales tax. The buyer is responsible for paying the 5% state sales tax (plus any applicable county or stadium taxes) directly to the WisDOT DMV when they title and register the vehicle in their name.
In Wisconsin, the license plates belong to the seller, not the vehicle. You must remove your license plates before the buyer takes possession. Do not let the buyer drive away with your plates. You can transfer them to another vehicle you own or keep them.
No. Wisconsin does not require a safety inspection or emissions testing for the seller prior to a private vehicle sale. You are selling the car "as-is," meaning you generally don't have to provide a warranty.
