Your Colorado title is a legal document, and any errors in completing it could make it invalid—meaning you’d need to obtain a duplicate. To avoid delays or complications when donating, please carefully read all instructions and tips before signing.

Do Not Void Your Colorado Title 

• Use only black or blue pen
• Do not use highlighter or white-out. 
• No scribbles, write-overs, strikethroughs, or tears
• Do not sing in the Dealer Reassignment section, unless you’re an authorized dealer
• Do not sing the front of the title

If your Colorado title looks different from the example shown below, take a moment to review it closely before moving forward. The placement of the signature and printed name fields may vary, but you are still required to print and sign your name in the correct designated sections.

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

1. Sign the back of the Colorado title where it reads “Seller’s Signiturer”
2. Print name(s) on the back where it reads “Sellers Hand Printed name(s)”
3. If there is a lien listed on the Colorado title, it must be released on line 2 of the title or accompanied by a separate lien release letter.

Signature Tips

The name(s) used to sign the Colorado 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 Colorado 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.
