This eTags how-to guide will teach you how to complete an Ohio vehicle title transfer and give you the tools to ensure that your transaction goes smoothly!<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">First things first:<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>What Is a Vehicle Title?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A vehicle title &#8211; or certificate of title &#8211; is a document that proves ownership of a vehicle. When purchasing a car, truck, boat, or motorcycle, both the seller and the buyer will have to complete a title transfer in order to transfer ownership. It\u2019s good to note that the state of Ohio also requires a title transfer when gifting a vehicle to a family member or spouse.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>How to Complete a Title Transfer in Ohio<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">To pass over ownership of a vehicle in Ohio, the seller must transfer \u2013 sign over &#8211; the title to the buyer by following these steps:<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Once a sale has been agreed upon, you\u2019ll need to fill out the \u201cassignment of ownership\u201d on the back of the Ohio title. This will include providing information such as the date of sale, purchase price, the buyer\u2019s full name and address, and the current odometer mileage.<\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In order to have the document officially recognized, the back of the title must be signed in the presence of a notary public. Once this step is complete, the seller can hand over the vehicle and the title to the buyer.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-28658 lazyload\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.etags.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/AdobeStock_738303725_Editorial_Use_Only-1-800x533.jpeg\" alt=\"OH license plate\" width=\"800\" height=\"533\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/www.etags.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/AdobeStock_738303725_Editorial_Use_Only-1-800x533.jpeg 800w, https:\/\/www.etags.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/AdobeStock_738303725_Editorial_Use_Only-1-1160x773.jpeg 1160w, https:\/\/www.etags.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/AdobeStock_738303725_Editorial_Use_Only-1-1536x1024.jpeg 1536w, https:\/\/www.etags.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/AdobeStock_738303725_Editorial_Use_Only-1-2048x1365.jpeg 2048w, https:\/\/www.etags.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/AdobeStock_738303725_Editorial_Use_Only-1-120x80.jpeg 120w, https:\/\/www.etags.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/AdobeStock_738303725_Editorial_Use_Only-1-90x60.jpeg 90w, https:\/\/www.etags.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/AdobeStock_738303725_Editorial_Use_Only-1-320x213.jpeg 320w, https:\/\/www.etags.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/AdobeStock_738303725_Editorial_Use_Only-1-560x373.jpeg 560w, https:\/\/www.etags.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/AdobeStock_738303725_Editorial_Use_Only-1-1920x1280.jpeg 1920w, https:\/\/www.etags.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/AdobeStock_738303725_Editorial_Use_Only-1.jpeg 780w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 800px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 800\/533;\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The buyer can then proceed with the title transfer by:<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Filling out and submitting <a href=\"https:\/\/dam.assets.ohio.gov\/image\/upload\/publicsafety.ohio.gov\/bmv3774.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Form BMV3774<\/a> (Application for Certificate of Title) with the Clerk of Courts Title Office.<\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Presenting a valid photo ID at the title office.<\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Paying any fees, including sales tax and title transfer fees.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Upon completion of the above steps, the title transfer is complete.
