Oregon Title Support

1. On the front of the title at the very top, there are boxes where various vehicle information should be recorded. Each box is clearly labeled, and includes things like the vehicle’s make, model and VIN. To the lower right of this section, the owner’s information should be printed or typed. To the right of the owner’s information, the odometer reading must be recorded.

2. The bottom half of the front page is reserved for lienholder information. If there are no liens on the sale, leave this section blank and proceed to the backside of the title.

3. On the back, there is a section midway down the page labeled “Reassignment.” In this section, the date of sale should be printed, along with the buyer’s name and address. The odometer reading should be recorded just below this, with the appropriate checkbox marked if there is a discrepancy in the mileage.

4. Below the odometer reading, the seller(s) name(s) and signature(s) must be filled in. Oregon provides spaces for up to three sellers. The seller’s address must also be printed, only if it differs from the address printed on the front of the title.

5. Once all the above sections have been filled out, the buyer must print and sign their name to complete the document.

6. If there is a new lienholder on this sale, their information goes at the bottom of the back page, just below the buyer’s name and signature.

Helpful Tips

• Oregon’s title is split in such a way that both sides of the title should be examined closely. Ensure that all fields are filled in that are required and that nothing is skipped.
• The lien section on the front should be left entirely blank if there are no liens on the sale.
• Oregon requires that the transfer title be submitted within 30 days of vehicle sale. Failure to do so will void the document and carries a fine of $50 for a late transfer fee.
