  1. If applicable, the lienholder will release the lien by entering the required information.
  2. The buyer enters their name, address, city, state, and zip code.
    1. If there is a co-buyer, they will also enter their name.
    2. If there is a co-buyer, check "AND" or "OR" to determine whether both buyers or just one need to sign the title in the event they are to sell the vehicle.

    3. If there is a co-seller, they will also sign and print their name.
  4. The buyer checks the box stating they are aware of the odometer certification and signs and prints their name.
