New Jersey Title Sample

Remove the plates and surrender them to any MVC Agency or Regional Service Center, unless the plates are being transferred to another vehicle (plates can be transferred to another vehicle but not to another owner).

Sign the reverse side of the title and give it to the buyer with: Buyer's name and address, date of sale, mileage odometer reading and sale price. To avoid a $25 penalty, all titles must be transferred within 10 working days from the date of sale.
