Documents used along the form

The California Form REG 262 is a crucial document for vehicle and vessel transfers. It must be accompanied by several other forms and documents to ensure a smooth transfer of ownership. Below are five commonly used forms that complement the REG 262.

Title Certificate: This document serves as the official proof of ownership for a vehicle or vessel. It includes essential details such as the vehicle's identification number, make, model, and owner information. The Title Certificate must be submitted along with the REG 262 when transferring ownership.
Application for Duplicate Title (REG 227): If the original Title Certificate is lost or damaged, this application is necessary to obtain a duplicate. It must be filed with the DMV and can be submitted alongside the REG 262 to facilitate the transfer process.
Bill of Sale: This document outlines the sale agreement between the buyer and seller. It includes details such as the sale price, vehicle identification information, and signatures from both parties. A Bill of Sale is often required to substantiate the transaction and is referenced in the REG 262.
Odometer Disclosure Statement: This statement is critical for reporting the vehicle's mileage at the time of sale. It must be completed by the seller and is a legal requirement to prevent odometer fraud. This statement is part of the REG 262 but may also be required separately in certain transactions.
Power of Attorney (REG 260): When an individual wishes to authorize someone else to act on their behalf regarding the transfer, this form is essential. It allows the appointed person to sign necessary documents, including the REG 262, ensuring that the transfer is legally binding.

Understanding these forms and their purposes is vital for anyone involved in vehicle or vessel transactions in California. Proper documentation helps to avoid legal issues and ensures a clear transfer of ownership.
