AFFIDAVIT OF VEHICLE OWNERSHIP TEMPLATE FAQ
What is an affidavit of vehicle ownership?
An Affidavit of Vehicle Ownership is a sworn statement that you own a specific vehicle. It is sometimes used when a title is missing, a transfer record is incomplete, a vehicle was gifted, or a DMV/insurer requests additional proof. Requirements vary widely by jurisdiction, so confirm your local DMV’s rules.
When would you use it?
Common scenarios include: lost title, inherited vehicle, gifted vehicle, or correcting ownership details. Some states require separate DMV-specific forms, so this template is a general affidavit you can adapt if permitted.
What information should be included?
Include: vehicle year/make/model, VIN, plate number (if any), how ownership was acquired, purchase price (if any), lien status, and supporting documents. This template includes each of these items in plain language.
Does this replace a title?
Usually no. A title or other formal transfer document is typically required. This affidavit can support your application but may not be sufficient on its own.
Do you need notarization?
Often yes. DMV and insurers often require notarized statements. This template includes notarization and an optional witness section.
