Transferring a car between family members in California, gifting a vehicle, fixing an accidental writing error on the back of a California pink slip (Certificate of Title), or preparing dealership title packets alongside Form REG 227 and Form REG 343? California DMV Form REG 256 (Statement of Facts) is required in almost every non-standard California title or registration transaction. Because the 2-page form repeats the vehicle header on both sides and only requires the specific lettered sections (A through G) that match your scenario plus the Section H signature, JustFill makes it fast to type cleanly in your browser — or batch-fill REG 256 forms from Excel/CSV for California dealerships and registration services.
The California DMV publishes Form REG 256 (REV. 7/2020) at dmv.ca.gov/portal/file/statement-of-facts-reg-256-pdf/.
