Application Form with Undertaking for Change of Ownership

The Application Form with Undertaking for Change of Ownership is the official document required when you transfer the title of a vehicle, boat, or other registered asset to a new owner. This form not only captures the buyer and seller information but also includes an undertaking that protects the seller from future liabilities such as parking tickets or toll violations.

What Is This Form and When Is It Needed?

State motor vehicle departments (DMVs) require this form whenever a title is transferred. It is used for private sales, dealer-to-private sales, and any situation where ownership changes hands. The undertaking clause is essential because it formally releases the seller from responsibility after the transfer is recorded.
