You must title/register the transfer in the state whose rules govern the sale (typically the state where the transaction occurs).

What to include in your bill of sale
- Full legal names and addresses for both buyer and seller.
- Horse Trailer make, model, year, VIN, and current mileage.
- Agreed sale price, payment method, and transaction date.
- Any out-of-state sale-specific disclosures required in Virginia.
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 considerations
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.
Checklist for this transaction
- 1Confirm the original title is signed and notarized if required by the seller's state
- 2Obtain a state VIN verification form if required in the buyer's state
- 3Complete odometer disclosure on the title or a separate form (49 CFR Part 580)
- 4Gather emissions or safety inspection certificates if required in the buyer's state
- 5File for title transfer in the buyer's home state within the permitted timeframe
