Oklahoma Vehicle Title Guide & FAQs

Oklahoma title transfers must be completed correctly and notarized to avoid delays. This guide explains where to sign your title, common mistakes that can void it, and how to replace a lost or damaged Oklahoma title without problems.

Signing Your Oklahoma Vehicle Title

Oklahoma requires vehicle titles to be notarized at the time of signing. Do not sign your title until you are physically in front of a Notary Public. Signing without notarization can void the title and force you to apply for a duplicate.

What Will Void an Oklahoma Title

  • Signing the title without a notary present
  • Using ink other than blue or black
  • Signing in the Dealer Reassignment section
  • Cross-outs, erasing, or writing over mistakes
  • White-out or correction fluid
  • Rips, tears, or damaged titles

If any of these issues occur, the Oklahoma Tax Commission may require a duplicate title before the vehicle can be sold.

Where to Sign an Oklahoma Title

Your Oklahoma title must be notarized. Do not sign the title until you are in front of a Notary Public.

Sign the back of the title where it is labeled “Signature of Seller(s)”.

Print your name directly below where it reads “Printed Name of Seller(s)”.


Vehicles with Multiple Owners

Oklahoma signing requirements depend on how the owners are listed on the title:

  • Owner 1 OR Owner 2 – Only one owner must sign
  • Owner 1 AND/OR Owner 2 – Only one owner must sign
  • Owner 1 AND Owner 2 – Both owners must sign
  • No conjunction listed – Both owners must sign

Titles Showing a Lienholder

If a lienholder is listed on the Oklahoma title, the lien must be released before the vehicle can be transferred.

  • Lien release noted directly on the title
  • Or a separate lien release letter from the lender

Without a lien release, the Oklahoma Tax Commission will not process the title transfer.


Replacing a Lost or Damaged Oklahoma Title

If your Oklahoma title is lost, stolen, damaged, or voided, you must obtain a duplicate title before selling the vehicle.

  • Duplicate title fee is $11
  • Lost title transfers are not permitted
  • You must wait for the replacement title before selling
