You must transfer the vehicle title over to the new owner whenever you sell a vehicle. If there is still a lien against it, contact the lien company for information on how to transfer the vehicle's title to the new owner.
To complete the transaction:
The seller must fill out the following information on the back of the vehicle's title:
?Date of sale.
?Odometer reading at time of sale.
?Purchase price. If there's no place to record this on the title, create a bill of sale.
?Printed name and signature. The buyer must also do the same.
Once completed, give the buyer the title and, if applicable, all relevant paperwork regarding any loans or liens on the vehicle.
Remove the vehicle?s license plates:
?Transferring Registration/Plates: Transfer the license plates to a new vehicle within 7 calendar days, or else you must cancel the plates and the registration.
?Not Transferring Registration/Plates: Cancel the registration/plates on your vehicle with the Massachusetts RMV. (See the section below on Canceling Plates and Registration for information on how to complete the process.)
