MSO – this is a secure document created by the vehicle manufacturer. The MSO must be assigned from the dealer to the buyer and must be notarized if the transfer of ownership occurred in a state that requires notarization.
If either the invoice or statement of origin is notarized, the file will be acceptable; however, the invoice must be notarized if a tax credit or a trade vehicle is shown.
- Exception: if the transfer of ownership occurred in a state that does not require notarization, notarization will not be required on the invoice or the MSO.
If the vehicle is not exempt from odometer requirements and the back of the title does not contain an Odometer Disclosure Statement, a supplemental Odometer Statement must be submitted.
Original notarized bill of sale or invoice specifying the actual consideration involved and full description of vehicle. If an invoice from a dealer is submitted, the full description of the trade-in vehicle (if any), and the dealer’s current permit number must be indicated.
If a tax credit is shown on an invoice, the invoice must be notarized. Exception: If the state is a non-notary state, then the invoice is not required to be notarized.
A separate bill of sale is not required if the selling price is included on a title with a notarized assignment.
If the vehicle sale occurs in a state with a notarial requirement, the itemized invoice submitted must be the original and notarized. If the original is lost, a certified true copy can be accepted.
A carbon copy of a bill of sale can be accepted if being submitted from a state that does not require notarization.
