How to Correctly Fill Out a Idaho Vehicle Title
Filling out a car title correctly is crucial to ensure a smooth transfer of ownership. Here’s a comprehensive guide to help you fill out a car title correctly in Idaho.
1. Locate the Title
First, ensure you have the original car title document. It should be in good condition, without any alterations or damages.
2. Identify the Key Sections
Familiarize yourself with the key sections of the title that need to be filled out:
- Seller’s Information: Full name, address, and signature.
- Buyer’s Information: Full name, address, and signature.
- Odometer Reading: Current mileage of the vehicle.
- Date of Sale: The date when the vehicle is sold.
- Purchase Price: The sale price of the vehicle.
3. Fill Out the Seller’s Information
The seller must complete their section, providing their full name, address, and signature. Ensure the name matches the one on the title.
4. Fill Out the Buyer’s Information
The buyer must complete their section, providing their full name, address, and signature. Ensure the name is clear and legible.
5. Complete the Odometer Disclosure
For vehicles less than 10 years old, the seller must disclose the current mileage of the vehicle. Fill out the odometer reading section accurately.
