Transferring a car title in Ohio involves a few key steps through the Ohio BMV title transfer process. The seller must sign the current title and have their signature notarized by a notary public. The buyer then takes the notarized title (and a completed title application form, if required) to a County Clerk of Courts Title Office. You’ll need to present a valid ID and pay the title transfer fee plus any applicable Ohio sales tax on the vehicle’s purchase price. Once everything is verified, the office will issue a new title in your name, often on the spot.
