Instructions for transfer of title as a gift. This form may be used only for vehicles titled in this state.

Vehicle (financed)

If the title shows a lien, proof that the lien has been satisfied can be shown by the submission of a notice of security interest filing or by a

termination statement, on the lienholder’s letterhead, stating that the lien has been released. Included with this statement should be a description

of the vehicle by year, make, and the vehicle’s identification number. If the lienholder’s name is on the face of the title and the lien has not been

satisfied, a statement from the lienholder, authorizing the lien transfer, must accompany the transaction.

Adding a name to a title - To add a name to the title, please complete the assignment section on the reverse side of the title with both names

new certificate of title section must be completed in the space designated for the names and signatures of both buyers.

Deleting a name from a title - To delete a name from a title, please complete the assignment section on the reverse side of the title with the

name of the person receiving the vehicle in the space provided for “buyer/receiver.” Both persons giving the vehicle as a gift must complete the

assignment section by providing their signatures in the space provided for “seller/giver.” The buyer’s application for new certificate of title section

must be completed by the person receiving the vehicle. If the vehicle is transferred from a joint ownership to another joint ownership, for example,

from mother and father to son and daughter-in-law, please follow the procedure for deleting a name from a title.

Transferring a title from an individual to another individual - To transfer the title of a vehicle from one individual, please complete the

assignment section on the reverse side of the title, by providing the name of the person receiving the vehicle in the space provided for “buyer/

provided for “buyer/receiver.”

for an additional year (for a fee) when the vehicle is titled.
