How to Correctly Fill Out a Wyoming Vehicle Title
When selling or transferring ownership of a car in Wyoming, it is essential to correctly fill out the car title to ensure a smooth transaction. Below is a step-by-step guide to help you fill out the title correctly.
1. Complete the Seller Section
The seller must complete the 'Assignment of Title' section on the back of the title. This includes providing the buyer's name, address, the date of the sale, and the odometer reading (for vehicles less than 10 years old). Make sure all details are accurate and legible.
2. Odometer Disclosure Statement
For vehicles less than 10 years old, you are required to disclose the odometer reading on the title or a separate Odometer Disclosure Statement. This is a legal requirement to verify the mileage of the vehicle.
3. Sign and Date the Title
Both the seller and buyer must sign and date the title in the appropriate spaces. This confirms the transfer of ownership from the seller to the buyer. Be sure to use the correct legal names as they appear on the title.
4. Notarization
In Wyoming, title transfers require notarization. Both the seller and buyer should sign the title in the presence of a notary public, who will then affix their seal to verify the signatures. This step is essential for a valid title transfer.
5. Provide the Title to the Buyer
After the title is signed and notarized, the seller must give the title to the buyer, who will use it to register the vehicle in their name with the Wyoming Department of Transportation (WYDOT). The buyer will need this document to complete the transfer of ownership.
