Transfer On Death (TOD) Notice Procedural Guidelines

Legislation enacted November 1, 2016 provides that the title of a motor vehicle that is not subject to any lien or other

encumbrance may be transferred in transfer-on-death form by filing with the Tax Commission a written notice of transfer signed

by the transferor (current record owner) and designating the transferee (owner upon death of transferor).

• Such notice shall serve to transfer ownership of the vehicle to the transferee upon the death of the transferor, by

transferee’s filing the required documentation and remitting the applicable transfer fees (refer to bottom of this page).

• A designation of the transferee may be revoked or changed at any time prior to the death of the transferor, by filing an

amended notice with the Tax Commission.

TOD is filed via submission of this Notice form to the Oklahoma Tax Commission. The form may be filed by the transferor at

any time, or submitted by the transferee following the death of the transferor, provided the form was properly completed by the

transferor prior to their death. A properly filed TOD will be recorded to the Oklahoma Tax Commission vehicle record file. It will

not reflect on any subsequent certificate of title or registration transaction.

Please note the following:

• Only the record owner(s), per the Motor Vehicle Title files of the Oklahoma Tax Commission, may file a TOD notice.

• For a TOD notice to be accepted, current ownership of the vehicle must be in the name of an individual or individuals.

• TOD notices may be filed on only motor vehicles.

• Incomplete notice applications will not be processed. Please review and ensure all information is provided.

• If the current certificate of title to the vehicle reflects multiple owners joined by “and”, all must sign the TOD filing notice.

• If multiple owners (transferors), all must be deceased before a transfer of ownership to the TOD transferee may be

completed.

Unless amended or revoked by the transferor, a filed TOD will remain in effect until the resulting transfer of ownership to the

transferee is completed, or until an event precipitating cancellation of the TOD filing occurs. Such cancelling events include:

• Transfer of ownership of the vehicle by the transferor owner

• Transfer of ownership of the vehicle by court order, sheriff’s sale or possessory lien action

• Transfer of ownership of the vehicle by issuance of a repossession title

• Subsequent filing of a new TOD by the owner (transferor), which will replace any previously filed TOD

• Presence of active lien on the vehicle record at time of transferee application to transfer title following death of transferor

• Cancellation of the Oklahoma title resulting from notice of subsequent titling of vehicle in another state

• Death of Transferee prior to Transferor

Completed Notices may be mailed to the Oklahoma Tax Commission, Motor Vehicle Division, at the following address:

Oklahoma Tax Commission / Motor Vehicle Division / 2501 North Lincoln Boulevard / Oklahoma City, OK 73194

To apply for title upon death of Transferor, or to revoke any ownership interest to the vehicle, Transferee is to
