Get Notarized Odometer Statement

Odometer fraud is prohibited under both federal and state laws. While each state has its own individual statute, federal law prohibits disconnecting, resetting, or altering of a vehicle's odometer with intent to change the number of miles indicated.

All states are required to provide an odometer disclosure section/space on complying titles or complying forms. The odometer disclosure should contain: The complete vehicle description (make, year model, body type, and vehicle identification number). The date of sale.

An odometer disclosure statement is a required attachment to a vehicle bill of sale at the time of purchase for all vehicles below 16,000 pounds and under 10 years of age.

Seller's Signature Seller's Name (Print Name in Full) Mailing Address (Include Street Number and Name, Rural Delivery, Box, Apt. No.) Enter odometer reading exactly as it appears on the vehicle's odometer (excluding tenths) and check applicable boxes.

The Federal Truth in Mileage Act (1986) requires the California DMV to collect and validate the odometer reading for most motor vehicles upon initial registration and registered owner transfers. Odometer mileage readings are mandatory when the vehicle is initially registered or when transfer ownership occurs.

To correct a vehicle description error on a vehicle record and California Certificate of Title, the following must be submitted: The California Certificate of Title or Application for Duplicate or Transfer of Title (REG 227) form. ... A Verification of Vehicle (REG 31) form.

I, (seller's printed name) _____________________________________________________________ state that the odometer now reads (miles, no tenths) ______________ miles and to the best of my knowledge that it reflects the actual mileage of the vehicle described above, unless one of the following statements is checked.

FEDERAL LAW requires that you state the mileage upon transfer of ownership. Failure to complete this disclosure statement or providing false information may result in fines and/or imprisonment.
