What do I need to sell my car with a Tribal title?

A Tribal title is a title issued by a federally recognized Native American Tribe. Tribal titles are most commonly issued in Oklahoma.

Because Tribal titles aren't issued by a state DMV, they require a few extra pieces of documentation to be legally transferable. Here's what you'll need to gather:

  • Original Tribal title, signed by the registered owner in the seller/owner section (see image below)

  • Notarized lien release (if there's a lien on the title)

  • Notarized signature, if the title has a notary section

  • Copy of Tribal ID

  • Odometer disclosure statement — this may be requested by the DMV

For more information, see articles related to the state where the vehicle is being sold.
