How to Fill out a NJ Vehicle Title When Buying or Selling a Car - Private Sale

- I spent a lot of time doing research to figure out how to properly fill out a NJ vehicle title. However, I've gotten conflicting advice regarding:
(1) Where to write the date.
(2) Whether the seller needs to write down his address.
(3) Whether you need to bring your social security card to get your new registration.
Please comment below if you can clear up any of these questions and feel free to post any of your own questions.
Going to a NJ DMV now requires driving two hours up the road and waiting in line for 6-8 hours so you can't afford to mess up anything.
Here's the other video on this topic: • How To: Fill out a New...
I'm not sure if he's 100% accurate. He put the date under "date of odometer statement" instead of "date of sale." However, online articles say to write the date in the "date of sale" section.
Here's the DMV's instructions on how to transfer a title in NJ. It has a lot of useful info. However, it leaves a lot of questions unanswered: www.state.nj.us/mvc/vehicles/...
Hopefully once I'm able to talk to people at the DMV, I'll get all my questions answered and I'll be able to make a 100% accurate and comprehensive video on how to transfer a NJ vehicle title

UPDATE: Everything worked out perfectly. All this information in this video is indeed accurate.
but where do u put the date
whereyou put date?
@@someone123421 i put it on odometer statement and it was no problem
so In order to get the title in my name, I just need this title from the previous owner and I don't need any bill of sale?? and to get registration I need a form BA-49 and insurance?
@@Voltomess bill of sale is mostly only used if you are making a title and dont have a title, you could get one but u rlly dont need one if u fill it all out correct
so touching for an excellent video
Your drivers license number typically (atleast for me me) starts with the first letter of your last name. Assuming yours starts with an R lol. Otherwise pretty solid, I like to have the seller fill out there information and then have the ppl at the DMV actually highlight what areas need to be filled out so I’m not responsible if it is messed up
LOL tysm bc im going over my info andddd mine starts with an L as does my last name
Very helpful! Thank you
Great job
i believe you can write the date wherever
Where did you end up putting the date?
Thank you
Video starts at 1:17
Mine is different. On the right hand side above the odometer statement it has another area where it says seller's name and signature. Sign this too?
I see two places for the seller to print there names which one does the print this is a private sale and what’s the difference between print and hand print thanks
Thanks for the video, what would be the process for a gifted car? Is there additional paperwork? Do both old and Ned owner need to attend for this to get done? Do I need a bill of sale for 1$ ?Thanks
You write gift for sale price
hey quick question? did you put “gift” on the bill of sale? or how did it go down?
I might be late so the front page for example indicates 86,500 miles that’s the last miles of the car from the owner now the car got 112,300 miles i out that in the back right ?
So do you still put date of sale above where price for car is ? Or only date it at bottom. Why is their two buyers signature and print at bottom ?
There could be two buyers ie. Husband and Wife
Good morning mister.
Im buying car from friend who has given POA(power of attorney) to somebody else. I'm confused whose name will be written on seller (original seller or POA's) and whose(seller or POA's) signature will be added in seller's line
Haha the private seller i bought from signed his behalf and accidentally signed the bottom too, i just filled out what i needed to as the buyer then signed on the lines at the bottom next to it and the dmv didn't give me a problem...i think they understood lol
Another question, if I brought the car from a private seller. And the seller fill the sale price and net price is it ok ??? It’s a private seller . Need help
It's end of March 2021 now. Anyone know if the lines are still crazy long at the DMV's here in NJ?
you have to make an appointment online DMV
What if the seller sent you a title without filing it any portions of "sellers" portion of the title?
The seller did send me a bill of Sale.
If I sell it to a dealership, does it matter if nothing is filled out?
Does the signature for New Jersey require a notary or can the seller just sign the title over to me ? I would title it in PA. Bill of sale not required ?
Notary is not required in New Jersey
Thank you. I had the same question.
Im registering in nys / do I need to fill sale price?
Please if someone can tell me, I bought a vehicle from a private seller and the guy filled it side of the title and I fill my name the same way my driving license was issued the last name first and the first name last, is gonna be a problem when I go to the DMV to transfer the vehicle in my name?
What do I do if my address is different than what’s on the title? Since I purchased a vehicle I’ve moved.
What if the buyer is from NJ but registering the car in a different state? Should the buyer’s address match the license or the address of where the car will be registered?
Did you ever get the answer for this?
Im still dealing with this. I gave the title to the buyer and a few weeks after he called me saying its a bad title. How? Its thr title I got from our finance auto credit and under is their notarized lien released... what seems to be the problem then? This really stress me out
Hi, did your get it sorted out?
Yes. Thank you. We requested a new one from the finance auto dealer and submit to DMV.
All drivers license do not start with a R. The letter is your last name.
He used R as an Example
I actually said I thought most New Jersey licenses start with R since all my family members cards start with R haha. But he thought i said "ALL DRIVERS LICENSES" 😂 @michellehaney9211
Hi, what happen when you went to the dmv was everything filled out the way it is in this video?
Everything was fine no problems
@@breakmanradio2530 date?
I brought a vehicle from a friend and they signed it on the part were it says seller. Where buyer on the top that's where I print my name my address and my driver's license. Also on the bottom where is his buyer I just sign and print is that all because I'm a little confused on how to fill a title out
I was confused too and what I did was leave all that blank and when I got to the DMV they highlighted for me what I needed to fill out as the buyer.
If the car is being sold as a gift do you write gift on sale price section?
Yes. I called mvc and they confirmed. GIFT in sale price.
Is it OK if I put dashes in between my license number? Or would that be a problem?
Hi my home is in New York when you buy a car in NJ do you need it notarized it to make a new york title ?
No
What if there's a cobuyer??
What’s auction name and location mean?
Just reading all the comments and making sure I'm on the same page.
1)Do we still need appointments at the DMV? It's 4/28/21.
2)And regarding the DATE, where do we put it?
Thanks all!
i actuALLY HAVE an appointment on may 15 and you put the date on the "Date of Odometer Statement"
@@joelzea5483 Thanks! I have an appointment this Saturday 5/8. If I learn anything new, I'll update here! If not - it was all OK! :)
All went ok. Put the date in the Odometer section. No issues.
@@BriNJ1983 Thanks Brian
@@BriNJ1983 hey have a quick question selling my car privately for 2500 I heard on the sales tax line u put gift is that correct??? I don’t want to fuck this up
Is it up to the buyer to officially transfer the title within 10 business days?
the ten business days thing is just for dealers i believe
Hi, Can I use Pencil lead instead of black/blue ink?
You can never use pencil on a formal document. :)
Did you need a social security card?
do you need a bill of sale my car was given to me as a Gift? if so does it have to be notarized too?
Write "gift" under sale price. You won't need to pay NJ sales tax since it was a gift. I recently acquired a vehicle that was a gift, and that's what worked for me at the DMV. If you want, you can always leave it blank and double check with your local DMV employee to ensure you fill it out correctly. It worked in Ocean County at least.
@@lavenderbutterfly1433 Hi Lise so you followed the instructions as shown in this video except price and you wrote gift? Im in the middle of doing this and I'm trying to figure out. Also,since it's a gift, does the owner also needs to attend to DMV office? Was there additional paperwork or forms to fill out?. Thanks
Cman how did it go? Did you need a bill of sale? Can you please explain the process? Did the old owner had to attend?
Does the seller put his drivers license number to the right of where his name is printed above Corpcode #
No. That second drivers license spot is if you were a leinholder
My car was a gift. So, i just put a numerical zero in sale price?
Put $1 there.
anyone know if you need to be there when the buyer brings the title to the dmv? Im selling my car to my brother but recently moved out of state and i need to know if i need to be there.
No you do not, I just did this as the buyer, the seller(you) needs to fill out your portion on the back of title and give it to buyer and they go with all their paperwork to the DMV, you do not have to be there because there is no reason to.
@@user-ky4do4yl4g do you need a license to register a car ?
@@squadbnk7896 yes
Any one has any idea if both owners have to sign the title? I am selling my car and two owners are listed on the front page. Should I sign and my wife as well? There isn't too much space on the back.
update? i have two sellers do i put the co seller on there to the right of the seller
I accidentally put a comma on selling price would they still accept it?
Was it ok for you with the comma?
Hey is it ok if the seller does not put his address and name but sign in the seller information please let me know
Did you ever get an answer for this? I'm in the same boat, not sure what to do
@@xNinjaHobox same and my appointment date is soon idk what to do
@@sohibversace94 I went to the dmv recently and it turns out as long as the Seller Sign Here info is filled out by the person selling the car to you it's all good, they told me to fill out the Seller's Name part myself, they highlighted the parts I needed to fill out for them to take it and they highlighted the seller's name part since it was blank and they didn't mind that I was gonna fill out that part myself and everything went well after, got my plates and registration that day
@@xNinjaHobox hey no I did not have any prob since the seller has the address in the front page. Also check my channel and give me a subscribe that would mean a lot 🤪
@Angel thank God because my appointment is tomorrow and buyer only printed and signed in the signature part, didn't fill out the name and address and I was getting worried
I'm heading to DMV Friday for a car I purchased. I'm picking up the title tonight as the car was financed. my question is do I fill my part of the Title before going to DMV or do I do it there Obviosly the person I bought the car from will fill his part out. I'm getting nervous I'm going to mess this up.
What did you end up doing?
@@EmpressEmbeth I filled it in at DMV I didn't want to take a chance messing it up. the woman showed me all the spots to fill in and sign.
@@jerseyjeff88 was it filled out the same way as this video?
@@sohibversace94 yes but if you are not sure leave it blank and They will help you.
@@jerseyjeff88 yeah I’m super nervous he just signed the seller part tho not the print name and address ..
the seller accidentally put commas on my title , will this cause problems ? everything else is good
That’s what I’m asking too idk
It's not DMV anymore it's MVC...but saying DMV at least they know what it is.
How much was your registration if you put the car for 1000 dollars
Your registration amount is determined by what it's registered as. Passenger/commercial. Sale price determines sales tax you must pay in NJ which is 7% of sale price
What happens if the owner’s name on the front gets married and has a new last name , what name to sign on the back ? Anyone knows
Did you get an answer to this?
it's weird that there is no seller driver lic#
Seller's license number is on the front.
What do I need to get from the seller when I’m purchasing his car??? Only the title????
Yes, a valid title. That's all the info and paperwork needed to transfer title.
Does seller have to fill out Driver lic # ????
good question. There's a driver's Lic # across from the Buyer, Co-Buyer and Lienholder, but not one across from the seller, so I think not.
Just saw this below: "Seller's license number is on the front."
at the price I can put gift
Same question I have or should I put 0.00
I just called MVC yesterday and the customer service person said to write "Gift" in the sales price line.
can anyone help me with the co owner?
On the title on back, lower righthand column, it says "co-seller's Name" and "Co-seller's signature" if you have 2 different people on the front of the title, both must complete their portion and sign. If you are the buyer and have a co-buyer, the top left and bottom right are sections for the co-buyer's name, address, driver lic #, and signature. Hope this helps.
That’s actual false about the driver license they start with the first letter of the persons last name I know how to read any if I was trained by a federal bank to read a I’d every letter and number means something
I swear that's not exaggeration 😂😂😂
At the bottom also it has 2 sections for buyer to hand print and sign WTF?
man those docs are so fu#%g confusing
Actually they were very helpful at the DMV. You can always go in together and they tell you what to sign. If in doubt LEAVE IT BLANK.
Co-buyer. If one person is buying the vehicle and the title will be in one name, ignore the second set (leave it blank).
NJ sucks, NY is must easier to fill up.
Fuck nj
While this is helpful, I would think that you shouldn’t have “pinned” a comment that states, “UPDATE: Everything worked out perfectly. All this information in this video is indeed accurate.” When the ONLY reason ALL the data is accurate is because your last name, according to the channel name, is “Rosenzweig” which starts with the letter “R”. Only someone watching this who had a last name starting with an “R” would be able to follow all the information in the bideo, as you suggested in the “pinned comment”. Any woman who has EVER changed their name could tell you that the first 5 digits of your license number changes according to your last name. I have had the pleasure of dealing with my license number changing 3 times. My adopted last name had: S1553(as did my mother’s), my married name had: C0371(if I remember correctly), and then when I went back to my birth name, it was W6193.
This wouldn’t be too bad, except for the fact that, if someone follows your instructions and puts R in the space, they will run into issues when they inevitably have to alter it for the correct letter. Paying $25 for a replacement title is definitely not something that occurs when following “accurate information”.
