How To Sign An Oklahoma Title

For any questions about how to sign a title for your specific donated vehicle, please contact the purchasing vendor which is usually the auto auction yard. Please note, the purchaser of your donated vehicle is not the charity. It will either be the vendor or Charitable Adult Rides & Services.

1. At the top of the title, there is a space where vehicle information is printed, including make, model, VIN and more. Below this, the current owner’s name and address is printed.

2. Beneath the current owner’s information, there is a space for lienholders. If there are no liens on this sale, this section will be blank.

3. In the section labeled “Assignment of Title by Registered Owner,” the buyer’s printed name and address must be recorded. Just below this, the vehicle’s sale price must be noted.

4. To the lower left of the purchase price, there is a subsection for the odometer reading. The vehicle’s mileage at time of sale should be recorded here. If this mileage is impacted by any sort of discrepancy, this should be denoted.

5. Near the bottom of the assignment section, there are lines for the printed name and signature of the seller. If there are multiple sellers, include them all here. Just below this, the notary must sign and seal the document.

6. Once the notary has completed their section, the buyer should print their name and sign at the very bottom of the document.

Helpful Tips

Oklahoma requires that vehicle titles be signed by a notary. Do not attempt to fill out the title until you have made an appointment with a public notary, otherwise the title will not be valid.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: When do I cancel my insurance?

A. Only cancel your vehicle's insurance AFTER your vehicle has been picked up and you have notified the state that you’ve donated your vehicle. If your state requires notification, please be aware that you should never cancel your insurance prior to reporting to the state you are no longer in possession of the vehicle. This is a general rule for States/Motor Vehicle Departments that require Notification be submitted or license plates returned.

Q: Who is considerd the purchaser of my vehicle donation? Is it the nonprofit or charity?

A. The purchaser of your donated vehicle is NOT the nonprofit or charity. It will either be the vendor or Charitable Adult Rides & Services, the vehicle donation program provider and partner of your nonprofit of choice.

Q. What is State Notification?

A. State notification releases the vehicle donor from liability over the vehicle, including registration fees and from having to keep the vehicle insured, after the vehicle is picked up. State notification is a way for the state to create a record that the owner is no longer in possession of the vehicle. The steps needed to release your liability of a donated vehicle vary by state.

Q. Who is supposed to take care of the state notification process?

A. If state notification is required, only the donor and/or owner of the vehicle can complete this process. Please do not rely on the pick-up driver or vendor to report to the State/Motor Vehicle Department that you are no longer in possession of the vehicle.
