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 (New York-specific)

NY out-of-state vehicles must pass a NY safety inspection within 10 days of registration. The buyer surrenders the out-of-state title and receives a NY title. If the out-of-state title shows a lien, MV-190 (lien release) is required before NY will issue a clean title.

Out-of-state sale checklist

  • Confirm the original title is signed and notarized if required by the seller's state
  • Obtain a state VIN verification form if required in the buyer's state
  • Complete odometer disclosure on the title or a separate form (49 CFR Part 580)
  • Gather emissions or safety inspection certificates if required in the buyer's state
  • File for title transfer in the buyer's home state within the permitted timeframe
  • Pass NY safety inspection within 10 days
  • Surrender out-of-state title at NY DMV
  • Submit MV-82 (Vehicle Registration/Title Application)
