Title Alert
Your title is a legal document. Incorrectly completing your title may void it, requiring you to obtain a duplicate copy. Please read all of the instructions and tips before signing your title.
- Only use a black or blue pen.
- Do not use a highlighter or white-out.
- No strikethroughs, write-overs, scribbles, or tears are permitted.
- Unless you are an authorized dealer, do not sign in the Dealer Reassignment section.
Where do I need to sign the title?
Make sure you sign/print your name precisely as it appears on the front of your title. White-out, scribbles, and strike-throughs should all be avoided.
- Sign your name(s) on the line that says "Signature(s) of Seller(s)," which is located on the top half of the back of the title.
- Print your name(s) to the right of "Printed Names(s) of Seller(s)" on the back of the title, immediately below the signature line.
What if the car has multiple owners?
- If the title has "OR" between the owner names printed on the front, only one owner must sign.
- If the title contains the words "AND" or "AND/OR" between the owner names, or if nothing is listed between the owner names, both owners must sign.
What if the title has a lien or a bank name on it?
- If your Mississippi title has a lien or a bank name printed on the front, the lien holder must sign off on the title or a separate lien release letter must be obtained.
