What is Form BMV 3774?

Buying or selling a vehicle in Ohio, transferring an out-of-state car at a County Clerk of Courts Title Office, or preparing retail title packets at an Ohio dealership? Form BMV 3774 is the mandatory Ohio title application.

Applicant (Owner) & Co-Owner information

Full legal name(s), SSN or EIN/vendor number, Ohio driver license/ID number, residential street address, city, state, ZIP, and optional With Right of Survivorship (WROS) or Transfer on Death (TOD) election.

Vehicle description

17-character VIN, year, make, model, body type, conversion/motorhome details, prior title number and state, and odometer reading in whole miles.

Purchase price, trade-in & Ohio sales/use tax

Purchase price, trade-in credit (allowed on new vehicle purchases in Ohio), net taxable price, sales tax paid, dealer permit/vendor number, or statutory sales tax exemption reason.

Common mistakes to avoid

  • 1Signing Form BMV 3774 before arriving at the Notary Public or County Clerk of Courts Title Office — the signature must be witnessed and notarized.
  • 2Missing the 30-day Ohio title filing deadline after the assignment date on the back of the title, which adds a mandatory late fee.
  • 3Claiming a trade-in tax deduction on a used vehicle purchase — under Ohio law, the trade-in sales tax credit generally applies when purchasing a new motor vehicle from a licensed dealer (plus qualifying watercraft/outboard motors).
  • 4Forgetting the physical out-of-state VIN inspection (Form BMV 3787) at an Ohio Deputy Registrar or licensed dealer before visiting the County Clerk of Courts Title Office.
