What do I need to sell my car in Missouri?

Now that I’ve saved up some money, I’m finally going to buy a new car. I live in Missouri, and I’ve never sold a car before, so I want to make sure I have all my ducks in a row. What do I need to sell a car in the Show-Me State?

If you’re going to

in
Missouri
, you stand to save hundreds or thousands of dollars by selling your car privately. Fortunately, the process is relatively straightforward. Here’s what you need to sell your car in Missouri:
  • Safety inspection documentation if the car has been inspected within the last 60 days
  • An emissions certificate if you live in St. Louis City, Franklin County, Jefferson County, or St. Charles County
  • A notice of sale (form 5049) or a bill of sale (DOR-1957), which you need to send to the Missouri Department of Revenue within 30 days of the sale
  • A title, complete with the signature of the seller and buyer, as well as an accurate odometer reading
