A vehicle title is a legal document that proves ownership of the vehicle. It is necessary for buying, selling, or transferring ownership of a vehicle in Oklahoma.
To complete a title transfer in Oklahoma, the original title must be signed by the seller and provided to the buyer. Other documents, such as a bill of sale and proof of insurance, may also be required, but the title is the most critical document for the transfer of ownership.
In Oklahoma, you can apply for a duplicate vehicle title online if the original has been lost, stolen, or damaged. This service is offered through the Oklahoma Tax Commission’s online portal.
To correct an error on a vehicle title in Oklahoma, you typically need to submit a notarized affidavit of correction to the Oklahoma DMV. This form allows you to correct mistakes such as misspelled names, incorrect addresses, or VIN (Vehicle Identification Number) errors.
A title transfer is required when selling a vehicle to a new owner. It legally transfers ownership of the vehicle from the seller to the buyer. Changing your name or moving to a new address does not require a title transfer, although these updates should still be reported to the DMV.
