Name Affidavit

Directly under the statement Assignment of title by registered owner, write in the date the car was sold. On the next line, write in the name or names of the buyers and their address. On the next line, write in the odometer reading. Where it says Signature(s) of buyer, the buyer or buyers must sign the title.

Wait to sign until you are before a Notary. Back of the title top right - sign name(s) on the line where it reads "Signature of Seller." Back of the title right below where you signed name(s) - print name(s) on the line where it reads "Seller Must Hand Print Name Here."

The state of Pennsylvania requires that both the buyer and the seller go to the DMV together to transfer the title to the new owner. This is not optional (some states allow buyers and sellers the discretion here).

Step 1: Research your state laws. Some states, like California, do not require a notary for a car title, but other states do, like Iowa, and the required list of documents can be quite long. Also, you must know whether or not you have the right to sell a vehicle if you are not the legal owner, or a minor.
