What to Bring Electronic Title Transfers

Quick Answer

When ownership of a vehicle currently titled in Oklahoma changes, the title must be transferred to the new owner. Depending on whether the vehicle has a paper or electronic title, the transaction requires either a properly assigned and notarized Oklahoma title or the applicable Electronic Title Bill of Sale, along with identification, insurance verification, purchase-price documentation and other required documents. :contentReference[oaicite:1]{index=1}

Vehicle Title Transfer in Broken Arrow, Oklahoma

Buying a used vehicle, selling your car, receiving a vehicle as a gift or otherwise changing vehicle ownership requires the ownership record to be transferred. Oklahoma’s title-transfer process depends on the vehicle’s current title status and how ownership changed.

Buying a Used Vehicle

If you purchase a vehicle currently titled in Oklahoma, you will need to complete the ownership transfer and then title and register the vehicle in your name.

Selling a Vehicle

The seller must properly document the transfer of ownership using the appropriate Oklahoma title or electronic-title documentation.

Receiving a Vehicle

Transfers involving gifts, inheritance or other special situations can require additional documentation beyond a standard vehicle sale.

What Do I Need to Transfer a Vehicle Title in Oklahoma?

For a vehicle currently titled in Oklahoma, Service Oklahoma lists the following documents and information for transferring ownership. Requirements can vary depending on the circumstances.

Oklahoma Certificate of Title

If the vehicle has a paper title, bring the properly assigned and notarized Oklahoma certificate of title.

Electronic Title Bill of Sale

If the vehicle has an electronic title, ownership is transferred using Form 718, Bill of Sale of an Electronic Title, rather than transferring a physical title.

Valid Driver License

A valid driver license or FEI number is required for the title transfer transaction.

Oklahoma Insurance

Motor vehicles require verification of liability insurance that complies with Oklahoma requirements.

Purchase Price Documentation

Bring a purchase contract, bill of sale or Form 722-1, Declaration of Vehicle Purchase Price, as applicable.

Lien Release

If there is an active lien that has been satisfied, the appropriate lien-release documentation may be required before ownership can be transferred without the lien.

Odometer Disclosure

When transferring ownership of a motor vehicle from 2011 or newer, a completed odometer disclosure statement is required when applicable.

Additional Documents

Special transactions such as inheritance, gifting, court orders or other ownership situations may require additional documentation.

Important: Make sure the ownership documents are completed correctly before submitting them. Missing signatures, notarization or required documentation can delay a title transfer.

How to Transfer a Vehicle Title in Broken Arrow

For a standard Oklahoma vehicle purchase, the title transfer process can be broken into several basic steps.

Complete the Sale

Complete the purchase agreement or other documentation showing the transfer of the vehicle.

Complete the Title

Use the properly assigned paper title or the Electronic Title Bill of Sale when the vehicle has an electronic title.

Gather Your Documents

Bring identification, insurance verification, purchase-price documentation and any other documents required for the transaction.

Complete the Transfer

Visit a Service Oklahoma location or licensed operator to process the title, applicable taxes and registration requirements.

Electronic Title Transfer in Oklahoma

Oklahoma began issuing vehicle titles electronically by default on July 1, 2025. This changed what buyers and sellers use when transferring ownership of a vehicle with an electronic title.

Oklahoma Electronic Titles

Form 718 Replaces the Physical Title for the Transfer

When a vehicle has an electronic title, the seller uses Form 718 — Bill of Sale of an Electronic Title to transfer ownership instead of handing the buyer a physical title.

Service Oklahoma states that the Electronic Title Bill of Sale must be printed, completed and notarized. The buyer then uses the completed document along with the other required registration and title documentation.

Existing paper Oklahoma titles remain valid until a title transaction occurs. A sale or transfer can cause the existing paper title to be converted to an electronic title record.

You do not have to transfer a title online. Oklahoma says title transfers remain available in person or by mail. Electronic title issuance does not make online title transfers mandatory. :contentReference[oaicite:2]{index=2}

Buying a Used Vehicle From a Private Seller

Buying from a private seller requires particular attention to the ownership documents. Before completing the transaction, make sure the seller has the right documentation for the vehicle’s title status.

Check the Title Status

Determine whether the vehicle has an existing paper Oklahoma title or an electronic title.

Complete the Sale Documents

Use the properly completed title documentation or Form 718 when the vehicle has an electronic title.

Keep Your Purchase Records

Keep copies of the purchase agreement, bill of sale and other transaction documents for your records.

Do not rely on a handshake alone. A vehicle purchase should be supported by the ownership and purchase documents required for the Oklahoma title transaction.

Selling a Vehicle in Oklahoma

If you are selling a vehicle, the title or electronic-title documentation must properly document the change in ownership.

Verify Your Ownership

Make sure the vehicle’s title record and ownership information are correct before selling.

Address Any Lien

If the vehicle has an active lien, the lienholder continues to hold the title until the lien is satisfied.

Complete Transfer Documents

Use the properly assigned paper title or Form 718 if the vehicle has an electronic title.

Keep Your Records

Retain copies of the completed sale documents and other records associated with the transaction.

How Long Do I Have to Transfer a Vehicle Title?

Oklahoma requires titles to be applied for and issued within two months of obtaining ownership. This is particularly important when buying a vehicle because the title and registration process should not be put off until the temporary-registration period has passed. :contentReference[oaicite:3]{index=3}

Recently Purchased Vehicle

Oklahoma’s current vehicle process requires vehicles purchased from a dealership or private seller to be pre-registered within two business days. A metal plate with pre-registration decals must be obtained within ten days, while full registration must be completed within two months of the sale. :contentReference[oaicite:4]{index=4}

Why the Deadline Matters

Waiting beyond the applicable deadline can result in registration penalties and can leave the ownership and registration transaction incomplete.

Gifted, Inherited & Special Vehicle Transfers

Not every title transfer is a standard sale. Oklahoma has additional procedures for vehicles transferred through inheritance, gifts and other special circumstances.

Inherited Vehicle

A vehicle inherited after the owner’s death may require a will, probate documents, death certificate or other documentation depending on the circumstances.

Gifted Vehicle

A vehicle transferred as a gift still requires the appropriate ownership documentation and title transaction.

Court-Ordered Transfer

Court orders and other unusual ownership situations can require additional documentation before the title can be transferred.

Special situations can be different. If the vehicle transfer involves an estate, probate, divorce, court order, business ownership or another unusual circumstance, verify the exact requirements before visiting.

Title Transfers With a Lien

Oklahoma is a title-holding state. When there is an active lien on a vehicle, the lienholder holds the title until the lien is satisfied.

Active Loan

If the vehicle still has an active lien, the lienholder continues to hold the paper or electronic title.

Loan Paid Off

Once the lien has been satisfied, the lienholder must release the lien through the applicable Oklahoma process.

Selling a Financed Vehicle

If you are selling a vehicle with an outstanding loan, coordinate with the lienholder before attempting to complete the ownership transfer.

Out-of-State Title Transfers

A vehicle purchased outside Oklahoma or brought into Oklahoma after a move follows a separate out-of-state title and registration process.

Out-of-State Title

Bring the appropriately assigned out-of-state title for the vehicle being transferred into Oklahoma.

VIN Verification

Previously titled out-of-state vehicles generally require physical VIN verification before an Oklahoma title can be issued.

Additional Documents

The out-of-state process can require Form 701-6, a valid driver license, Oklahoma insurance, the vehicle and purchase-price documentation.
