5. How do I get a title in my name for a used vehicle purchased from a private party?

If you are purchasing a vehicle from an individual, ask to see the title. If the title you are given is a Wyoming title, be sure that all owners have had their signatures notarized. 

If any liens showing on the title have not been released, ask for a lien release. If the title is an out of state title, call our office to see if the title needs notarized. 

Many states do not require the title to be notarized, but if there is an area for notarization, the seller(s) need to have their signatures notarized. If the vehicle is 10 years old or newer, the odometer statement must be completed on the title or you will need a separate odometer statement completed. Unless the title is a Wyoming title, you will need a VIN inspection performed by law enforcement.
