Oklahoma Bill of Sale

What Oklahoma requires for a vehicle sale

• The usual document is a properly assigned and notarized Oklahoma certificate of title.
• For an electronic title, Form 718 (Bill of Sale of an Electronic Title) is used, and the page says to print, fill out and notarize it.
• Proof of purchase price can be a purchase contract, bill of sale, or Form 722-1 (Declaration of Vehicle Purchase Price).
• For 2011 or newer vehicles an odometer disclosure statement is required. It is usually on the title assignment; otherwise use Form 729.
• The vehicle titles page says titles must be applied for and issued within 2 months of obtaining ownership. Form 773 says the law requires transfer within 30 days of the assignment date, with delinquent penalties.
• An internal Service Oklahoma procedure lists excise tax at 3.25% of purchase price or taxable value and sales tax at 1.25%, unless exempt.

Oklahoma bill of sale: what to include

Whatever Oklahoma requires, a signed bill of sale protects both sides. It proves the price, the date and that the car was sold as-is. Include:

• Seller's and buyer's full names and addresses
• Year, make, model, color and VIN
• Odometer reading on the day of sale
• Sale price and date of sale
• As-is wording, plus a statement that the seller owns the vehicle and any lien is paid off
• Signatures and dates for both parties

Sample as-is wording

I, the seller, sell the vehicle described above to the buyer for the price shown, as-is, with no warranty, express or implied. The seller confirms they are the owner and that the odometer reading is correct to the best of their knowledge. This sale is made under the laws of Oklahoma.

Seller checklist (Oklahoma)

• Properly assign the title to the buyer and have it notarized.
• Complete the odometer disclosure for a 2011 or newer vehicle.
• Provide a lien release if a lien exists.
• Optionally file Form 773 (Notice of Transfer of Ownership), which has a $10.00 filing fee.

Buyer checklist (Oklahoma)

• Get the assigned, notarized title and proof of the purchase price.
• Bring a valid driver license or FEI number and proof of liability insurance.
• Apply for title at Service Oklahoma or a Licensed Operator location.
• Pay the applicable excise tax and sales tax.

Things to watch in Oklahoma

• The two Service Oklahoma sources differ on the deadline (2 months vs 30 days). Confirm with Service Oklahoma.
• The vehicle titles page we read does not list the sales tax or transfer fee amounts.
• The tax rates come from an internal procedure document, so confirm them with Service Oklahoma.
