What paperwork do I need to privately sell a car in Maryland? Vehicle certificate of title (Fill out Form VR-018 if you need a duplicate title) Notarized bill of sale, if applicable (Form VR-181) Odometer Disclosure (Form VR-197), if applicable.
You'll need the following items to sell a car in Maryland: the vehicle title, registration, your identification, car keys and account information if you're still paying it off.
There is a private bill of sale/transfer of tile form that can be printed off of the DMV website. Fill that out with the seller, and take the form and title to a Tag & title place. You can get tags in about 10 min. Make sure you get insurance for the vehicle the same day.
To gift a car, you will need to fill in an application for Maryland gift certification (VR-103) unless the car is gifted by an aunt or uncle, in which case you'll need form VR-299.
The seller must sign and print his or her name and the buyer's name and address on the back of the “Certificate of Title” under the “Assignment of Ownership” section. The buyer's name and address must be recorded in the “Assignment of Ownership” section to complete the sale.
Federal law requires car sellers to write the cumulative mileage registered on the odometer on the title when transferring ownership. If the odometer reading is inaccurate, the seller must indicate this discrepancy, either on the title or on a disclosure form.
