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

There is no single federal law governing out-of-state vehicle transfers; each state has its own rules. States like California require a smog/emissions inspection before registration of an out-of-state vehicle. Federal odometer disclosure requirements (49 CFR Part 580) apply regardless of which state the transaction occurs in. Use tax is typically owed in the buyer's home state.
