How To Sign Your New York Vehicle Title

When selling a vehicle in New York, signing the title correctly is essential. The title shows who owns the car, and we must fill it out to transfer ownership properly. This process protects both the seller and the buyer and helps the Department of Motor Vehicles update its records. Each step ensures the title is legally valid and prevents future problems.

  1. Locate the “Assignment of Title” section on the back of the title document.
  2. Print the buyer’s name exactly as it appears on their ID in the “Name of Transferee” field.
  3. Write the vehicle’s exact sale date in the designated space.
  4. Fill in the sale price clearly and accurately.
  5. Sign your full legal name as the seller on the “Seller’s Signature” line.
  6. Have the buyer sign their full legal name on the “Buyer’s Signature” line.
  7. If there is a lien on the vehicle, ensure the lienholder signs to release their interest.
  8. Verify all information for accuracy and completeness before handing over the title.

How To Turn in Your New York License Plates

In New York, when we sell a car, we must take specific actions with the license plates. The plates stay with the seller and are not transferred with the vehicle to the new owner. We are required to either transfer the plates to another vehicle or surrender them to the Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV). The new owner must get new plates for the vehicle. Following the sale, returning or transferring plates promptly helps us avoid penalties and fees.

  1. Remove the license plates from the car before handing it over to the buyer.
  2. Decide whether to transfer the plates to another vehicle or surrender them to the DMV.
  3. If transferring the plates, visit the DMV or use their online services to move the plates to your new vehicle.
  4. If surrendering the plates, take them to a local DMV office or mail them to the address specified by the DMV.
  5. Fill out and submit the MV-945S form, which notifies the DMV of the plate surrender or transfer.
  6. Keep a copy of the form and any receipts for your records.

How To Get a Duplicate New York Vehicle Title

To get a duplicate title in New York, we need the vehicle’s registration details and proof of identity. The vehicle must be registered in New York. We must also provide information about the owner and the vehicle. If a lien is on the vehicle, the lienholder is involved in the process. We use Form MV-902 for this application.

  1. Download and print Form MV-902, the Application for Duplicate Title, from the New York DMV website.
  2. Fill out the form completely with the vehicle information and owner details.
  3. Sign the form as the registered owner.
  4. If there is a lien on the vehicle, have the lienholder sign the form where required.
  5. Gather proof of identity, such as a driver’s license or state ID.
  6. Prepare a check or money order for the duplicate title fee, payable to the New York State Department of Motor Vehicles.
  7. Mail the completed form, proof of identity, and payment to the address listed on the form.
  8. Wait for the DMV to process the application and send the duplicate title by mail.
