Title Tips

  • Never buy a vehicle if the seller can`t show you the title, unless you can verify that the title is being held by a lien holder (bank, credit union, etc.)

  • When buying a vehicle, make sure all previous liens have been properly released. Various states have different requirements for releasing liens, so it is a good idea to call our office to find out about the requirements of the state from which the current title was issued.

  • You must be a Wyoming resident to obtain a Wyoming certificate of title, and your physical residence address must be placed on your title. We can not use a post office box.

  • On Wyoming titles, all sellers must sign in the presence of a notary. Even in cases where there are two names joined by OR (example John or Jane Doe), both parties must sign the seller`s block on the reverse side of the title and both signatures must be notarized.

  • If the title you receive is from any state other than Wyoming, you must have the vehicle identification number (VIN) inspected by a law enforcement officer (Cheyenne Police Department, Laramie County Sheriff`s Department, Wyoming Highway Patrol). Be prepared to provide proof of ownership (dealer`s invoice or bill of sale) and identification.

  • If the vehicle you purchase was manufactured within the past 10 years, you must have a conforming odometer statement and a damage disclosure statement signed by both the seller and the buyer.

  • Licensed Wyoming dealers are authorized to issue a 45-ay temporary permit for the vehicles they sell. There is no extension beyond the 45 days.

  • When buying a vehicle from any licensed Wyoming auto dealer, you must be provided with a Wyoming Sales/Use Tax form. This form pertains to the sales tax due to the Treasurer`s Office, and a copy must accompany your title work.

  • Wyoming law requires that when an out-of-state title carries a brand it must be placed on the new Wyoming title. In other words, if your out-of-state title has "salvage," "rebuilt," "flood," etc. typed on it, your Wyoming title will also have any such designation on it.

  • Always bring your identification with you when visiting the title office.
