What paperwork do I need to sell my car privately in NJ?
In New Jersey, selling a car privately requires the signed vehicle title (Certificate of Title), a completed odometer disclosure statement (required for vehicles under 10 years old), a bill of sale, and a completed Notice of Transfer and Release of Liability form submitted to the NJ MVC within 10 days of the sale. You will also want to remove your license plates before the sale since NJ plates stay with the owner, not the car. If the car has a lien, you must obtain a lien release from your lender before or at the time of transfer.
