How to Register a Vehicle

The buyer will need to attend a local Washington State Department of Licensing Office with the following paperwork:

  • Applicable fees
  • Bill of Sale: Optional, but helpful as supporting proof of the transaction.
  • Current Title
  • Driver License: You must get your Washington driver license before registering the vehicle.
  • Odometer Reading
  • Payment for Fees

Out-of-State Purchase

  • Copy of Title: If your bank holds the title, the bank may need to fax a copy of the title to the vehicle licensing office.

Notes

  • Driver licensing and vehicle licensing are handled at separate locations.
  • To complete the transaction by mail, contact a vehicle licensing office first for the required forms and fees.
  • Not all offices accept debit or credit cards, so check payment options before going.
  • If you register in person, you will usually receive your plates right away. If you apply by mail, it may take up to 3 weeks after the application is received.

Boat (Vessel) Registration Forms

  • Finalized Bill of sale
  • The title endorsed by the buyer and seller to indicate reassignment, complete with Odometer Disclosure accurately filled out.
  • Vessel Title Application (Form TD-420-289)
  • Receipt proving payment for all taxes associated with the acquisition of the vessel.
  • Funds to compensate for all required registration fees.

Firearm Registration Forms

Washington State does not require registration, however, the purchase of a gun ultimately records the sale on the state’s database. When buying a firearm, you will not need to furnish a permit to purchase, but whether you purchase through a dealer or private party, the sale will need to be conducted by a federally licensed firearms dealer. An FFL dealer can properly guide both parties through the background check process mandated by the state. Should you wish to carry a concealed handgun, you will be obligated to gain access to a Washington Concealed Pistol License. To do so you can present the following gathered materials at the nearest police precinct or county sheriff’s office:
