What is the process for transferring vehicle ownership?

To transfer vehicle ownership in Washington, the current owner must provide a signed title over to the new owner. The new owner must then complete the title transfer application and pay the necessary fees at a Department of Licensing office. Additionally, both parties should complete a bill of sale and odometer disclosure statement. If there is a lien on the vehicle, the lienholder will need to release it before the transfer can take place. Finally, all parties should ensure the vehicle's registration and insurance information is up-to-date. It is recommended to contact the Department of Licensing for specific instructions and requirements for transferring ownership.
