What are the documents required for a vehicle title transfer in Ohio?

Asked 6 months ago
When transferring a vehicle title in Ohio, there are several documents required. Firstly, the original Ohio certificate of title must be provided with the seller’s signature and information of the buyer. A completed application for certificate of title must also be submitted, including the vehicle identification number (VIN), make, model, and odometer reading. Additionally, both the buyer and seller need to furnish valid identification, such as their Ohio driver's license or state identification card. If the vehicle is financed or leased, a lien release or supporting documents from the lienholder are necessary. A bill of sale may also be requested. It is essential to note that additional requirements may apply depending on individual circumstances. For further details and guidance, refer to the Ohio Department of Transportation's website or contact their offices.
