Title and ownership information
Locate the current title if the vehicle is paid off and check every owner name. If the title is electronic or held by a lender, ask what release process applies.
Lender payoff details
For a financed vehicle, bring the lender name, account information requested by the dealer, a current payoff quote, and the lender's payment instructions.
Vehicle and identity records
Have valid identification, registration, VIN, current odometer reading, service records, both keys, and any documents for warranties or equipment you intend to transfer.
Sale and Washington reporting records
Use the current Washington State Department of Licensing requirements for transfer and seller reporting. Keep signed copies of the purchase agreement and payment or payoff confirmations.
