Ohio Title Portal (OTP) This secure online system allows a motor vehicle title to be transferred electronically, from private person to private person. The buyer can apply online 24/7, instead of visiting a title office in person.
All signatures must be notarized. If two names are to appear on the Title, both signatures are required for all transactions in the State of Ohio. It is required that a State I.D. or Ohio driver's license be presented to the Title Bureau at the time of transfer.
You can also get it from the County Auditor's office. The County Recorder's reference number, or volume and deed book number, stamped on your deed. If possible, have a lawyer review the form. It's important to complete the form properly to make sure that your property transfers the way you want it to.
Transferring a car title usually requires the vehicle title itself and a title application, the parties' addresses, signatures from the previous and new owners, and details on the vehicle and its value. These documents look different from state to state, but the information they require is generally the same.
Paperwork: Ohio requires a current and valid emissions inspection report, along with an accurate odometer disclosure, in addition to the standard paperwork like the title and insurance plate transfer.
