How do I transfer ownership of a motorcycle in Wyoming?

The most important step in transferring ownership when you buy or sell a motorcycle is completing the title transfer. 

In order to transfer ownership of a motorcycle, both the buyer and the seller will need to fill out and sign the title. 

The seller should also create a Bill of Sale that both parties should sign and retain a copy of. 

After that, the buyer will need to take their application documents, including the signed motorcycle title, to their local DOT in order to complete the title transfer process. 

The seller may need to notify the DOT of the sale by submitting a notice of transfer and release of liability form. 

How to Fill Out a Wyoming Motorcycle Title

The first step in any title transfer is having the existing title filled out and signed by both the buyer and the seller. 

Before you start to fill out your Wyoming motorcycle title, be sure to:

• Use blue or black ink only. 
• Avoid crossing out or whiting out any items on the title as this can void it. 
• Have taken care of any name changes beforehand. 
• Have removed any old lienholder information, if applicable. 
• Have both registered owners present to sign the title if the names are joined by “and.”

Always be sure to follow the instructions on your specific title and refer to your state’s official DOT for any questions. 

To fill out a Wyoming motorcycle title:

• On the back of the title, you’ll find the areas you’ll need to fill out. 
• Record the buyer’s information on the appropriate lines. 
• Record the odometer reading. 
• Have the seller sign and print their name on the Signature of Seller Lines.
