Oregon Vehicle Title Guide & FAQs

Signing Your Oregon Vehicle Title

Oregon title signing is straightforward, but mistakes can easily void the title. Use blue or black ink only and sign your name exactly as it appears on the title. Any corrections or improper signatures will require a duplicate title before the vehicle can be sold.

What Will Void an Oregon Title

• Signing in the wrong section of the title
• Using white-out, highlighter, or correction fluid
• Cross-outs, write-overs, or scribbles
• Signature that does not match the name printed on the title
• Tears, rips, or damaged titles
• Signing in the dealer reassignment section if you are not a licensed dealer

If any of these issues occur, the Oregon DMV will require a duplicate title before the vehicle transfer can be completed.
