Vehicle ownership transfers
MOTOR VEHICLE:
Colorado residents selling their vehicles can voluntarily report an ownership transfer to the
Division of Motor Vehicles.
Pursuant to C.R.S 42-6109(3), a person transferring ownership of a vehicle may voluntarily notify the Department of Revenue, Division of Motor Vehicles within five days of transfer of ownership at mydmv.colorado.gov (using the report release of liability link under vehicle ser vices) or in person at a county motor vehicle of fice.
This notification ser ves to remove the seller’s liability for the buyer’s actions involving the vehicle after the sale is complete. Information entered into this system is available to law enforcement agencies.
This process supplements the existing vehicle sales process and provides additional protection for individuals selling their vehicles.
Vehicle owners are still required to sign their title over to the new vehicle owner and the seller should remove their license plates before completing a motor vehicle sale.
This ser vice is one of 35 ser vices available at mydmv.colorado.gov. Other available ser vices include vehicle registration renewal, driver license renewal and the ability to request personalized license plates.
County Of fices will be closed on Monday, Feb. 15, 2021 for Presidents Day.
