Antique Vehicle Verification & Transfer Form (Fillable PDF)

Transferring ownership of an antique motor vehicle requires a specific verification form to satisfy your state’s Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV). The Antique Vehicle Verification & Transfer Form (REG 256) is the official document used by most U.S. states to confirm a classic car’s authenticity, condition, and legal title before it can be re‑registered as an antique.

Why You Need This Antique Vehicle Verification Form

• Legal ownership transfer: The DMV requires a verified document before issuing a new title for an antique vehicle.

Common Mistakes to Avoid When Transferring an Antique Car

• Leaving the Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) field blank or entering an incorrect VIN.
• Forgetting to attach a recent, clear photo of the vehicle’s nameplate and odometer.
• Signing the form in the wrong place – the signature must be on the “Seller/Transferor” line.
• Using a non‑official form version; always use the PDF linked below (REG 256).
