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 (Oregon-specific)
OR requires the out-of-state title to be surrendered at the DMV. OR has no sales tax. A VIN verification may be required.
Out-of-state sale checklist
- Confirm the original title is signed and notarized if required by the seller's state

- Surrender out-of-state title at OR DMV

Tigard Out-of-state sale bus template — when to file
Oregon requires title transfer within 30 days of the sale date on the bill of sale. For out-of-state sale transactions specifically, file at Oregon DMV – Tigard (Visit https://www.oregon.gov/odot/dmv for the nearest Tigard, OR office) during normal hours: Mon–Fri 8:00 AM–4:30 PM. Miss the 30-day window and Oregon 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. Bring the signed title, the completed Tigard bill of sale, your government-issued ID, and payment for the $99.00 title transfer fee plus No state sales tax sales tax on the purchase price.
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 Oregon DMV – Tigard; the seller keeps a duplicate to prove the date of transfer if a future liability question arises before the title fully retitles.
