Instructions on preparing an Alaska (AK) title

Updated over a year ago

Your title is a legal document. Incorrectly completing your title may void it, requiring you to obtain a duplicate copy. Please read all of the instructions and tips before signing your title.

Don't void your title

  • Use black or blue pen, only

  • Don't use a highlighter or white-out

  • No strikethroughs, write-overs, scribbles, or tears

  • Do not sign in the Dealer Reassignment section, unless you're an authorized dealer

**If your title design varies from the image shown below, review your title carefully before proceeding. While the signature field may be in a different location, you will still need to sign your name in the appropriate area.**

The person(s) named on the front of the title must follow these steps:

  1. Sign the front of the title where it reads "SIGNATURE OF SELLER (signed in ink)."

  2. If there's a lien listed on the title, it must be released on the title, or accompanied by a separate lien release letter.

Signature Tips

The name(s) used to sign the title must exactly match the name(s) shown on the title. If you have changed your name since the title was issued, do not sign with your new name. Go ahead and sign with the name shown on the title. 

If there are two owners on the title, one or both must sign depending on how the names appear in the title. 

  • Owner 1 OR Owner 2 - Only ONE owner must sign

  • Owner 1 AND/OR Owner 2 - BOTH owners must sign (unless one is deceased)

  • Owner 1 AND Owner 2 - BOTH owners must sign

  • Owner 1 Owner 2 (No conjunction) - BOTH owners must sign

Don't worry about the Buyer line, you should leave that blank.
