Missouri Vehicle Registering Procedures

The following information is important for those who initiate motor vehicle registration.

If you have recently arrived in the state, you are given 30 days after obtaining residency to collect the following official papers from titling your vehicle:

  • Original Title (Proof of Ownership)
  • Statement of Non-Assessment
  • A Missouri Safety Inspection, not more than 60 days old
  • An Emissions Inspection, not more than 60 days old
  • Application for Missouri Title and License (Form 108)
  • An ID/OD Inspection, or a Safety Inspection
  • An Insurance Card
  • The Receipts that Confirm Fee Payments

The new owner (residing in Missouri) of a motor vehicle should initiate the registering procedure within 30 days after the sale and purchase act has been committed. Make sure that you are able to submit all the papers mentioned above. Additional applicable legal documents might be requested.

Take into consideration that if you intend to title a trailer, you will need to check out some particular details (outlined in the Titling and Registration of Trailers section on the DOR official website). Members of the armed service should also look into specific information concerning vehicle titling.

How to Fill Out the Form

A brief five-step guide on how to complete the form is presented below. Be exceptionally careful while completing the Missouri Vehicle BOS, as it requires utter precision with all the numbers. Pay specific attention to the fact that the Missouri BOS has to be notarized when showing proof of ownership on major component parts of a rebuilt vehicle. In some cases, notarization may be requested by the DOR.

Access the Template

The sample of the Missouri BOS can be found on any reliable source page. To successfully submit the form, you are offered to use our form building software as an option. The information can be either printed or typed.

Provide Essential Personal Data

The first section of the paper is referred to the personal information of both parties establishing their agreement. You will need to submit both seller’s and purchaser’s full names and addresses (with the cities, states, and zip codes).

Describe the Vehicle

Choose the type of vehicle you are selling: a motor vehicle, a boat, or a trailer, and input its year, make, title number, VIN, as well as the sale price, being negotiated in advance. The sale date should also be inserted. Suppose you are creating a document as proof of an outboard motor transaction. In that case, you will need to write down the horsepower and previously mentioned pieces of information and indicate its motor identification number instead of the VIN.

Complete the Even-Trade Section

If you conduct an even trade for the vehicle, it will be necessary to submit the year, make, title number, and VIN of the vehicle a seller is supposed to receive.

Sign the Document

The individuals affirm to have provided true, correct information by putting their signatures. Remember that deliberate conveying false or misleading information will result in punishment. If the vehicle is sold for destruction, you will need to check the corresponding box on the right.
