Documentation

When you purchase a vehicle from a private seller, you are responsible for transferring the title into your name. To do this, you must present a few documents to your county clerk’s office.

• Original title, with notarized signatures of all owners

• Vehicle Bill of Sale, with notarized signatures of buyer and seller

• Application for Title and Vehicle Identification Number Inspection Form, with buyer’s notarized signature

• Odometer Disclosure Statement, required if not written on the title and vehicle is less than 10 years old

• Proof of Wyoming residency

Title information

When you purchase a vehicle, the previous owner should give you the original title. Take a couple of minutes to verify all the information is accurate.

• Odometer mileage matches the vehicle

• VIN on the title matches the plate on the driver door and vehicle dashboard

• Title is signed by all owners and notarized

• Buyer’s name and address are written on back

• Purchase date is correct

• Sale price is correct

Fees

To register your vehicle in Wyoming, you will need to pay a title fee of $15 and a VIN inspection fee of $10. Sales tax — based on the price written on the bill of sale — is due within 65 days of purchase. The county clerk will not release the new title until the sales tax is paid.

Transfer an out-of-state title

If you purchased a vehicle outside of Wyoming, the required title transfer documents are the same as an in-state private sale. In addition, you will need an Out of State VIN Inspection form completed by a law enforcement officer.

Title transfer without title

If the original title is lost, badly damaged or destroyed, the seller may apply for a duplicate title for $15. If no title can be found, the seller may complete an Affidavit of Ownership. Along with a complete description of the vehicle, they will need to explain why no title is available. The seller must also provide a notarized bill of sale.
