How to Sign Your Title in Ohio (OH)

Where to Sign

Ohio car titles must be notarized. Be sure to write clearly and sign/print your name exactly as spelled on the front of your title. Avoid white-out, scribbles, and strike-throughs.

• 1.
  Wait to sign until you are before a Notary.

• 2.
  Back of the title top half – print name(s) on the line where it reads “Transferor’s/Seller’s Printed Name.”

• 3.
  Back of the title right next to where you printed name(s) – sign name(s) on the line where it reads “Transferor’s/Seller’s Signature.”

Multiple Owners

All owners listed on the front of title must sign the title. Make sure to sign before a notary.

Lien or Bank Name on Title

If your Ohio title shows a lien or a bank name printed on the front, then your title will need to be signed off by the lien holder or have a separate lien release letter.
