Paperwork Needed to Sell or Buy a Car in Wyoming
When selling a car in Wyoming, you will need to gather the following paperwork to ensure a smooth transaction. Make sure all documents are correctly filled out and signed to avoid any delays or issues during the process. Here's a comprehensive list of what you'll need:
1. Certificate of Title
The Certificate of Title is the most important document when selling your car. You must sign the title and provide it to the buyer. Make sure to correctly fill out all required sections, including the odometer disclosure if the car is less than 10 years old.
2. Bill of Sale
While Wyoming does not require a Bill of Sale in all cases, it is recommended to create one to document the sale. This should include the names of both buyer and seller, the sale price, and the vehicle's details (make, model, VIN).
3. Odometer Disclosure Statement
Federal law requires an Odometer Disclosure Statement for vehicles that are less than 10 years old. You can include this on the title or provide a separate document, depending on what is applicable.
4. Wyoming License Plates
In Wyoming, the seller is responsible for removing the license plates from the vehicle upon sale. The buyer will need to apply for new plates in their name.
5. Release of Liability Form
This form notifies the Wyoming Department of Transportation that you are no longer responsible for the vehicle. While this is not mandatory, it protects you from liability if the buyer incurs tickets or legal issues after the sale.
