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 name(s) on the line that reads "Seller's signature" on the back of the title. Make certain that the title is signed legibly, exactly as your name appears on the front.
- PRINT name(s) on the line that says "Printed name" on the back of the title.
What if the car has multiple owners?
- If the title has "OR" printed between the owner names on the front, then just one owner needs to sign.
- If the title contains the words "AND" or "AND/OR" between the owner names, or if there is nothing listed between the owner names, both owners must sign.
What if the title has a lien or a bank name on it?
- If your New Hampshire 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.
