The California DMV requires the completion of Form REG 262, also known as the Title Transfer form. This form captures crucial details about the vehicle, including the vehicle identification number (VIN) and the names of both the seller and the buyer.
A REG 256 form completed by the beneficiary, stating the date and place of the owner's death and that he/she is entitled to the vessel as the designated beneficiary. Ownership may be transferred to another person. The beneficiary must give the buyer the above documents and a bill of sale; two transfer fees are due.
Certificates of Registration Use Tax are issued to out-of-state retailers that are required to register with the BOE to collect use tax, but are not required to register for a seller's permit.
The (TDS) describes the condition of a property and, in the case of a sale, must be given to a prospective buyer as soon as practicable and before transfer of title.
If the buyer does not sign the title and mail or give it to DVS, then the seller's name stays on the title of the car. If the buyer doesn't transfer the title within 10 days, the car's registration is suspended. What should I do if I sold a car but didn't report the sale? You should report the sale to DVS immediately.
If your vehicle passes, the station will provide you a vehicle inspection report showing your vehicle's results and will electronically send the smog certificate to DMV. The smog certificate is valid for 90 days.
The Vehicle/Vessel Transfer and Reassignment Form (REG 262) is used for odometer disclosure when: The title is a noncomplying title. An Application for Replacement or Transfer of Title (REG 227) form is required and is part of the application.
