How to Sign a Vehicle Title in West Virginia: Step-by-Step Guide

It's advisable to carefully read and understand the following instructions, locate the relevant sections on the title, and review any accompanying guidelines before proceeding.

Turn to the back of your West Virginia vehicle title and focus on the top section.

Enter the sale or trade-in price of the vehicle and the net price. If the vehicle is sold for less than $500, a flat $25 fee applies instead of the 5% tax. Calculate the tax by multiplying the net cost by 5% (.05) and write that amount in the space labeled "5% tax."

On the next line, provide the name and address of the buyer.

In the box under the buyer's name, input the vehicle's mileage without including tenths.

Proceed to sign your name on the line designated as "Signature of seller(s)." Print your name(s) where indicated as "Printed name(s) of seller(s)." Additionally, write the date of the sale in the space provided. If two owners need to sign, ensure both names fit on the same line.

Direct the buyer to sign where specified as "Signature(s) of buyer(s)." Additionally, they should print their name(s) in the corresponding section labeled "Printed name(s) of buyer(s)."
