To sell a car in
Oklahoma
, you’ll need to complete a title transfer, odometer disclosure statement, and submit a bill of sale to the buyer. A vehicle inspection or emissions test isn’t required—but it can improve the longevity of the car you’re selling.What you need to sell a car in Oklahoma
When selling a car, the first step is to gather the necessary materials. In Oklahoma, you’ll need the following.
- A signed/notarized Oklahoma certificate of title
- A vehicle history report
- An odometer disclosure statement
- Current registration
If you don’t have access to your car’s title, you’ll need to request a copy via an application for a duplicate certificate of title for Vehicle/Boat/motor (
Form 701-7
). You’ll have to pay a small fee.Those with liens must have the lien released (or speak with their lienholder) before selling a vehicle. If you use a power of attorney to sell your vehicle, you’ll need to submit an additional power of attorney form.
Getting a pre-sale inspection
Oklahoma law doesn’t require your vehicle to undergo emission or general inspections before the sale—but undergoing one is a great way to improve the longevity of your vehicle and give your buyer some additional peace of mind.
The prices for inspections are as follows:
- Emission inspections: $5.00
- General Inspection: $100.00 to $200.00

Signing the title over
To sign over the title of a vehicle, you’ll need to have a verification of liability insurance, the vehicle's current registration, and an
odometer disclosure statement
(for cars less than nine years old) on hand. From here, have the buyer and seller sign the car’s Oklahoma certificate of title in the requested locations and get the document notarized.
Reporting the sale
The seller may complete a notice of transfer of ownership of a vehicle form to report the sale, but this is optional. If you choose to complete this form, be sure to have the buyer sign it before filing with the DPS.
