Out-of-state sale — What You Need to Know
The buyer and seller are in different states, or the vehicle is currently registered in a different state than where the buyer will register it. This can trigger additional inspections and title-reissuing requirements.
Seller guidance
You must title/register the transfer in the state whose rules govern the sale (typically the state where the transaction occurs). Provide the buyer with your state's standard bill of sale and a clean, signed title. Some states require you to obtain a VIN inspection before releasing a title to an out-of-state buyer.
Buyer guidance
You will need to re-title the vehicle in your home state after purchase. Bring the signed out-of-state title, the bill of sale, and any required inspection certificates to your local DMV. Many states require a state-certified VIN verification and an odometer disclosure statement to process an out-of-state title.
Legal note (Massachusetts-specific)
MA requires all out-of-state vehicles to pass a MA safety and emissions inspection within 7 days of registration. The out-of-state title is surrendered at the RMV. MA charges 6.25% sales tax on the purchase price if not previously paid.

Miss the 10-day window and Massachusetts typically charges a late-transfer penalty plus accrued use tax, and the seller can remain on the title for civil liability until the buyer completes retitling.

Template reminder. Whether you keep your template as a blank template you fill in by hand, both buyer and seller should leave the signing with an identical executed copy. The buyer needs the original to present at Massachusetts DMV – Northborough; the seller keeps a duplicate to prove the date of transfer if a future liability question arises before the title fully retitles.
