In lieu of making up a handwritten bill of sale, the NY DMV provides this <a href=\"https:\/\/dmv.ny.gov\/forms\/mv912.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">form<\/a> which can help you include all the required information easily.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>2. Sign Over the Title<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>For both a transfer where money is being exchanged and in the case of the vehicle being a gift, the signing over of the title is the same. The seller\/giver of the gift must fill in the areas on the back of the title that are marked \u201cSeller.&#8221; The buyer\/recipient must complete the sections marked \u201cBuyer.\u201d This is true whether or not there is an actual sale.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>3. Complete the Form DTF-802<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>This form is a Statement of Transaction and acts as proof of the sale or gift. In the case that the transfer is a gift, this document will allow the recipient to avoid paying sales tax on the acquisition of the vehicle.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>4. Remove License Plates<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Before transferring ownership of a vehicle, the license plates must be removed.<\/p>\n<p>And these are the steps to take when transferring a vehicle to a family member in the state of New York!<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-29354 lazyload\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.etags.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/AdobeStock_1031840217-1-800x533.jpeg\" alt=\"Gifting a car\" width=\"800\" height=\"533\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/www.etags.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/AdobeStock_1031840217-1-800x533.jpeg 800w, https:\/\/www.etags.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/AdobeStock_1031840217-1-1160x773.jpeg 1160w, https:\/\/www.etags.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/AdobeStock_1031840217-1-1536x1024.jpeg 1536w, https:\/\/www.etags.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/AdobeStock_1031840217-1-2048x1365.jpeg 2048w, https:\/\/www.etags.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/AdobeStock_1031840217-1-120x80.jpeg 120w, https:\/\/www.etags.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/AdobeStock_1031840217-1-90x60.jpeg 90w, https:\/\/www.etags.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/AdobeStock_1031840217-1-320x213.jpeg 320w, https:\/\/www.etags.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/AdobeStock_1031840217-1-560x373.jpeg 560w, https:\/\/www.etags.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/AdobeStock_1031840217-1-1920x1280.jpeg 1920w, https:\/\/www.etags.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/AdobeStock_1031840217-1-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<h2><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><strong>FAQs About Transferring a Vehicle to a Family Member in NY<\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><strong>Who is exempt from paying sales tax on a gifted vehicle?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Only immediate family members can benefit from tax exemption in the case of a gifted car, truck, SUV, RV, or motorcycle.

All outstanding loans will need to be paid off before freeing you up to transfer your vehicle to a family member. If the loan has been satisfied, however, you can transfer ownership once the bank\/moneylender has released the lien. Usually this looks like a lien release letter from the financial institution stating that the loan has been satisfied. Then, the bank will also relinquish the title to you (if they\u2019ve indeed in been in possession of it) in order for you to be able to sign it over to your family member.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Can I drive my newly transferred vehicle right away after the title has been transferred.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Not quite yet. As a new owner, you\u2019ll need to wait until the title transfer is complete &#8211; \u00a0meaning, once you\u2019ve received the new title in your name from the DMV. Additionally, you must register the car in your name and affix the new tags to the vehicle before being allowed to drive the vehicle legally.<\/p>\n<p>Remember, for all your title and tag needs, we\u2019ve got a stellar team of experts ready to assist should you have any questions or need a hand during this process.
