If you want to gift a vehicle in the state of Connecticut, it\u2019s important to get familiar with the legal and administrative steps necessary to make the process go smoothly. In this guide, we\u2019ll walk you through all the key points you need to know about how to gift a vehicle in Connecticut, including transferring ownership and dealing with taxes &#8211; so you can get your gifting done quickly and easily.<\/p>\n<p><strong>What Does \u201cGifting a Vehicle\u201d Mean?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>To gift a vehicle means that you transfer ownership of a car (truck, SUV, motorcycle, or RV) and do not receive payment for it. Where a gifted vehicle transfer differs from a conventional sale lies mostly with the types of documents used, and occasionally, tax exemptions \u2013 particularly when the car if being gifted to a family member.<\/p>\n<h1><strong><u>How to Gift a Vehicle in Connecticut: A Step-By-Step Guide<\/u><\/strong><\/h1>\n<p><strong>Step 1: Gather Required Documents<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Before you get started with the process of transferring a car as a gift, make sure you have all your paperwork ready. You will need the following:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>The original certificate of title (signed over by the current owner)<\/li>\n<li>A bill of sale (even if there is no money exchanged)<\/li>\n<li>Valid state ID<\/li>\n<li>Proof of insurance for the recipient<\/li>\n<li>A completed Form <a href=\"https:\/\/portal.ct.gov\/-\/media\/dmv\/20\/29\/h13bpdf.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">H-13B<\/a><\/li>\n<li>A completed Form <a href=\"https:\/\/portal.ct.gov\/-\/media\/dmv\/20\/29\/au463pdf.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">AU-463<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Having these documents prepared in advance will help avoid delays when you visit the DMV.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-29299 lazyload\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.etags.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/AdobeStock_1712721107-1-800x448.jpeg\" alt=\"Filling in car paperwork\" width=\"800\" height=\"448\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/www.etags.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/AdobeStock_1712721107-1-800x448.jpeg 800w, https:\/\/www.etags.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/AdobeStock_1712721107-1-1160x650.jpeg 1160w, https:\/\/www.etags.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/AdobeStock_1712721107-1-1536x861.jpeg 1536w, https:\/\/www.etags.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/AdobeStock_1712721107-1-2048x1148.jpeg 2048w, https:\/\/www.etags.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/AdobeStock_1712721107-1-120x67.jpeg 120w, https:\/\/www.etags.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/AdobeStock_1712721107-1-90x50.jpeg 90w, https:\/\/www.etags.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/AdobeStock_1712721107-1-320x179.jpeg 320w, https:\/\/www.etags.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/AdobeStock_1712721107-1-560x314.jpeg 560w, https:\/\/www.etags.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/AdobeStock_1712721107-1-1920x1076.jpeg 1920w, https:\/\/www.etags.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/AdobeStock_1712721107-1-scaled.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\/448;\" \/><\/p>\n<p><strong>Step 2: Sign Over the Title<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The most important piece of gifting a car is transferring the title accurately.

Meaning, if the car is going to a family member or a non-family member.<\/p>\n<p><strong>How to gift a car to a family member:<\/strong><br \/>\nIf your vehicle is being gifted to an immediate family member (like a a spouse, parent, or child), the recipient may be exempt from paying sales tax. The giftee will need to fill in form <a href=\"https:\/\/portal.ct.gov\/-\/media\/dmv\/20\/29\/au463pdf.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">AU-463<\/a> to claim this exemption, and then submit it during registration.<\/p>\n<p><strong>How to gift a car to a non-family member:<\/strong><br \/>\nThe process of gifting a car to a non-family member in Connecticut is similar, but the recipient may need to pay sales tax to the state depending on the vehicle\u2019s fair market value. Yes, even though the car is a gift.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s generally a good idea to get familiar with any eligibility for tax exemptions before beginning the transfer. This way everyone involved knows what to expect.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Step 5: Register the Vehicle<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>After the title is signed over and all documents are completed, the receiver of the vehicle must register the vehicle in their name. This means:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Submitting all documents to the DMV<\/li>\n<li>Paying registration fees<\/li>\n<li>Providing proof of insurance<\/li>\n<li>Paying any taxes (if applicable)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>In order to legally drive a vehicle in the state of Connecticut, it must be registered. So it\u2019s a smart move to get registration done right after (or along with) the title transfer.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-29301 lazyload\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.etags.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/AdobeStock_325800185-1-800x533.jpeg\" alt=\"Sitting in a gifted car\" width=\"800\" height=\"533\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/www.etags.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/AdobeStock_325800185-1-800x533.jpeg 800w, https:\/\/www.etags.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/AdobeStock_325800185-1-1160x773.jpeg 1160w, https:\/\/www.etags.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/AdobeStock_325800185-1-1536x1024.jpeg 1536w, https:\/\/www.etags.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/AdobeStock_325800185-1-2048x1365.jpeg 2048w, https:\/\/www.etags.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/AdobeStock_325800185-1-120x80.jpeg 120w, https:\/\/www.etags.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/AdobeStock_325800185-1-90x60.jpeg 90w, https:\/\/www.etags.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/AdobeStock_325800185-1-320x213.jpeg 320w, https:\/\/www.etags.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/AdobeStock_325800185-1-560x373.jpeg 560w, https:\/\/www.etags.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/AdobeStock_325800185-1-1920x1280.jpeg 1920w, https:\/\/www.etags.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/AdobeStock_325800185-1-scaled.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><strong>Step 6: Cancel or Transfer Plates and Insurance<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Once the vehicle has been gifted, the former owner should:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Remove license plates (they belong to the owner, <strong>not<\/strong> the vehicle)<\/li>\n<li>Cancel or transfer any insurance<\/li>\n<li>Notify the DMV if required<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Common Mistakes to Avoid When Gifting a Vehicle<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>When gifting a vehicle to a friend or family member in the state of Connecticut, it\u2019s important to look out for common errors:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Filling out the title incorrectly:<\/strong> Mistakes will require a duplicate title and cause delays<\/li>\n<li><strong>Forgetting the bill of sale:<\/strong> Even with no money exchanged, documentation is necessary<\/li>\n<li><strong>Assuming there won\u2019t be tax:<\/strong> Tax exemption depends on the relationship of gifter and recipient<\/li>\n<li><strong>Waiting to register:<\/strong> Delaying registration can end up in penalties<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>FAQs<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Can you gift a car with a lien on it?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>No. Any outstanding payments must be completed before gifting a vehicle.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Can you drive a gifted car before it\u2019s registered?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>A gifted car is like any other \u2013 it must be registered in order to be driven legally.
