Quick answer:<\/strong> On a Minnesota title, the seller prints their name on the Seller\u2019s Printed Name(s)<\/em> line and signs on the Seller\u2019s Signature(s)<\/em> line, both on the front<\/strong> of the title in the section labeled Assignment of Ownership<\/em>. That\u2019s all you sign. When you sell or donate through Remarket Space, our title specialist completes the date of sale, buyer information, odometer reading, and damage disclosure at the time the vehicle sells, so leave those fields blank. Then report the sale or donation to the state within 10 days. The rest of this guide shows you exactly where each line is and how to avoid the mistakes that get a title rejected.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Where to sign a Minnesota title<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Every Minnesota Certificate of Title has a boxed section on the front, about two-thirds of the way down, headed ASSIGNMENT OF OWNERSHIP<\/strong>. That box is the only part of the title the seller touches, and you only touch two lines in it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n
  1. Seller\u2019s Printed Name(s)<\/strong> \u2014 Print your full name exactly as it appears in the Owner<\/em> box at the top of the title. If the title says \u201cJOHN A DOE,\u201d print \u201cJohn A Doe,\u201d not \u201cJ. Doe\u201d or \u201cJohnny Doe.\u201d<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  2. Seller\u2019s Signature(s)<\/strong> \u2014 Sign directly below your printed name. Your signature goes on the line just under the printed-name line, on the left side of the box.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

    What to leave blank<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

    Do not<\/strong> fill in the Date of Sale<\/em>, the Odometer Disclosure<\/em>, the Damage Disclosure<\/em>, or any of the buyer lines (Buyer\u2019s Printed Name<\/em>, Buyer\u2019s Address<\/em>, Buyer\u2019s Signature<\/em>). When your vehicle sells through Remarket Space, our title specialist completes those fields with the actual sale date, the verified odometer reading, and the buyer\u2019s information. Filling them in early with a guess or a placeholder is the most common reason we have to go back to a donor for a duplicate title.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    The rules that keep your title from being rejected<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

    Deputy registrars reject titles for small, avoidable reasons, and the same common title transfer mistakes<\/a> come up again and again. Follow these and yours will go through the first time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
