This form must be completed by the purchaser, seller, and lienholder in the event a title assignment date is

prior to the issue date of the title. Section 301.210, RSMo, provides that the ownership of a motor vehicle or

trailer legally transfers only at the time a certificate of ownership is assigned. Therefore, the purchase or sale date

must be on or after the issue date of the title. If the owner of a vehicle issues a bill of sale to the purchaser but

sells such vehicle without the title, the purchaser does possess an interest in the vehicle but has no legal

ownership rights to the vehicle until such time as the title is assigned. Allowing a purchase date prior to the

issue date of the title could create legal problems concerning ownership with regard to insurance settlements,

lienholder rights, etc. This form must be submitted at the time the title is submitted by the applicant. The new

purchase date shown on the form does not have to be recorded on the back of the title but will be shown as the

purchase date on the face of the new title issued.

Similarly, the date of sale on the assignment cannot be prior to the date of the previous title assignment, i.e., the first

assignment cannot have a sale date of July 1, 2014, and the second assignment a sale date of June 15, 2014.

If an original title is assigned to a purchaser and then is lost, the duplicate title that is issued may be backdated

to the date of purchase as recorded on the original title and no statement will be required. This only applies to

duplicate titles.
