Here's the ultimate guide to transferring your vehicle title at the New Jersey DMV. We've simplified the entire process to save you time.

What You’ll Need to Transfer your Vehicle Title in New Jersey

If you sold or bought a vehicle

The Seller must:

  • Remove the plates and surrender them to a motor vehicle agency or full service agency, unless the plates are being transferred to another vehicle (plates can be transferred to another vehicle, but not to another owner).
  • Sign in the seller's section of the reverse side of the title and give it to the buyer, along with a bill of sale including the following information: Buyer's name and address; Date of sale; Mileage odometer reading; and Sale price.

The Buyer must:

Pre-owned in New Jersey
Pre-owned in another state that issues titles
Pre-owned in a state that does not issue titles
Pre-owned and purchased at an auction

NOTE: To avoid a $25 penalty, New Jersey or dealer reassigned titles must be transferred within 10 working days from the date of sale.

  2. Submit the required documents, your application, ID and pay for the title fee.
