Oregon Ownership and Title Requirements
When you sell a vehicle in Oregon, DMV instructs you to sign and date either the title or a bill of sale. Any lienholder must release its interest. Oregon DMV says you cannot sell the vehicle while an outstanding loan remains unpaid, so resolve the payoff with the lienholder first.
Lost-title requirements depend on the vehicle and transfer. For a model-year 2011 or newer vehicle under 20 years old, Oregon requires odometer disclosure; if its title is lost, get a replacement title before sale. For older vehicles, follow Oregon DMV's current instructions. Review the Oregon DMV buying and selling guidance for your situation.
Oregon distinguishes salvage or totaled vehicles from vehicles another state has classified as junk or non-repairable. An out-of-state junk or non-repairable status can prevent an Oregon title unless the issuing jurisdiction removes it. See the Oregon DMV title-brand guidance.
After the sale, notify Oregon DMV through DMV2U within 10 days and provide the buyer's name and address. You remain listed as owner until the buyer transfers the title.
