Continue reading to learn more about the essential documents you need to have to execute a sale with a dealership.

Why Documentation is Important

Having documents that are important to your ownership of a vehicle can also be essential to a sale. These documents either need to be in possession of the new owner or can provide the new owner with essential information about the vehicle and its history.

By providing documentation, you can both speed up the process and make it easier for the dealership to sell to a new owner down the road.

What Essential Documents Do I Need?

There are several documents that can be important in the selling process:

  • Vehicle Title – The vehicle’s title is proof of ownership. If you do not have a vehicle title, in the event you have not fully paid off the vehicle, payoff information is recommended.
  • Current Vehicle Registration – By providing vehicle registration that is current and valid, this provides verification that you are the owner of the vehicle.
  • Photo ID – Providing proper identification is essential to the selling process.
  • Keys and Remotes – At the time of sale, you want to provide any keys you have and remotes to unlock or start the vehicle. If these are damaged or missing, it can affect the value you receive.

Maintenance Records – Providing a history of any maintenance that was completed and any repairs that are made can be helpful to the dealership in both determining value and a future sale.
