  • Get your papers together. You will need the bill of sale, and/or signed title showing the previous owner and their signature. You will also need to fill out the form Statement of Transaction Sale or Gift DTF-802, this form is because you will need to pay sales tax on the purchase of your car.
  • Double check that you have all of your paperwork. That the paperwork is signed by yourself and the seller (just the forms that need it). Also make sure you have your photo id.
