Oklahoma Vehicle Donation Title Questions and Helpful Information

Q:Where do I sign the Title?

A:On the front of the Title please sign in the Seller section where it reads “Signature of Seller(s)” and next to that where it reads “Printed Name of Seller(s)” only. Please be aware that an Ohio Title does have to get notarized by a Notary before signing and presenting the Title to our tow facility.

Q:I paid off my car but there is still a lienholder listed?

The lienholder should have provided a Lien Release or completed the Lien Release section on Title when it was paid off. If a Lien Release is required please contact your financial institution. We will request one if necessary directly from the bank or other financial institution on your behalf but may need a written authorization and copy of your driver’s license.

Q:What do I put down for the Buyer?

A:We prefer it be left blank along with the odometer reading as the processing partner will record the exact reading at time of processing and handle the buyer and dealer license information.

Information that is provided by the processing partner may be put in the buyer section.

Q:Can I still donate if I can’t find my Title?

A:We will still attempt to process your donation without the title, though the process may be a bit more complicated.

Q:I’m donating the vehicle on behalf of Deceased loved one, what do I need to provide?

A:Joint Ownership with Right of Survivorship (JTWROS) – vehicle ownership transfers to survivor. A copy of the Death Certificate is needed.

Ownership listed on title with “and” between names – Requires copy of Death Certificate, survivor signs as seller.

Only one (1) name listed on the title – Required items are court documents showing appointment with executor signed as seller (notarized signature on title.)

Q:How do I release the liability and what do I do with my plates?

A:The state of Oklahoma does not have a vehicle liability release form, and therefore the donor should remove license plates from the vehicle and contact the Oklahoma Tax Commission on how to dispose of plates to protect themselves from future liability issues.

Q:Will you take a vehicle that has mechanical problems?

A:Vehicles are reviewed and sent to a processing partner, however if we are unable to find a buyer for the vehicle, we will have to unfortunately decline the donation.
