Do I Cancel My Car Registration When I Sell My Car?

When you sell your car in Texas, you do not have to cancel your car’s registration with the DMV. When a buyer purchases a vehicle from a private seller such as yourself, they are required to complete the title transfer process within 30 days of the sale.

Your Responsibilities as a Seller

While you do not have to cancel your registration with the Texas DMV, you should submit a Vehicle Transfer Notification, which protects you from liability if the vehicle gets into an accident right after the sale. The Vehicle Transfer Notification can be done online at the Texas DMV and should be completed within 30 days, though you may still submit it after that point.
