To apply for a title on a vehicle or vessel the new owners will need the following items:
- Proof of Ownership:
- Manufactured Statement of Origin (for brand new vehicles)
- Title properly released by all legal and registered owners
- Affidavit in Lieu of Title/Release of Interest Form
- Special circumstances
- Abandoned Vehicle Report (AVR)
- Notarized release of interest (for 3-year registration only)
- Proper Identification:
- Valid Washington Driver's License
- Bill of Sale
- Odometer Disclosure - Only for vehicles 9 years old or newer
- Federal law requires the disclosure of vehicle mileage on an odometer disclosure statement when transferring ownership on a motor vehicle 9 years old and newer. Odometer disclosure statements must have a secure printing process. Disclosures must show on the certificate of title or on a separate secure odometer disclosure form
- Title Application:
- Notarized signatures of all registered owners to be shown on the new title
Since a title transfer requires a notarized or certified signature of the new owners, it is not possible to process these on the Internet.
