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 (Texas-specific)

TX requires out-of-state vehicles to pass a TX safety inspection before registration. The out-of-state title must be surrendered at the county tax assessor-collector. If the out-of-state title shows a lien, a lien release (VTR-262) is required.

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 Texas safety inspection at a certified station
  • Bring out-of-state title (original) to county tax assessor-collector
  • Pay 6.25% motor vehicle use tax on purchase price or SPV (higher value)
  • Submit VTR-130-SOF if vehicle identification needs verification

Chase Out-of-state sale van printable — when to file

Texas requires title transfer within 30 days of the sale date on the bill of sale. For out-of-state sale transactions specifically, file at Texas TxDMV – Chase (Visit https://www.txdmv.gov to find the nearest Chase office) during normal hours: Mon–Fri 8:00 AM–5:00 PM (verify hours with local office). Texas TX does not require a notarized bill of sale; however, Form 14-317 (Affidavit of Motor Vehicle Gift Transfer) must be notarized. Miss the 30-day window and Texas 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 Chase bill of sale, your government-issued ID, and payment for the $33.00 title transfer fee plus 6.25% sales tax on the purchase price.

Printable reminder. Whether you keep your printable as a printed two-copy paper record, both buyer and seller should leave the signing with an identical executed copy. The buyer needs the original to present at Texas TxDMV – Chase; the seller keeps a duplicate to prove the date of transfer if a future liability question arises before the title fully retitles.
