Sold your vehicle? Completing a Notice of Transfer and Release of Liability (NRL) lets DMV know that you are no longer responsible for parking/traffic violations or civil or criminal actions associated with the vehicle after the date of sale.
Before you begin…
-
You will need the new owner’s name and address.
-
Have the license plate number and last five digits of the vehicle identification number (VIN) handy.
-
Have the vehicle odometer reading as of the sale or transfer date.
-
Be prepared to print the confirmation you receive after submitting the NRL (if you wish to keep a copy for your own records).
Submitting an NRL to the DMV does not constitute a transfer of ownership. The vehicle record is not permanently transferred out of your name until the DMV receives a completed application for transfer of ownership and payment of appropriate fees from the new owner.
