![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() There is no “minimum” age in Tennessee to be listed as an owner or co-owner on a title and registration. NOTE: Power of Attorney designations cannot authorize a person to sign the odometer certification both as the seller and the buyer of a vehicle on 2011 or NEWER model vehicles. The Power of Attorney form must identify the vehicle by make, model and identification number (VIN) and the individual presenting the Power of Attorney will need to come in with a drivers’ license for identification purposes. The designated party must be provided with a Power of Attorney in order to complete this transaction for the owner. If an owner or co-owner cannot process their motor vehicle transaction themselves, they may designate someone else to process the title and/or registration for them. State law requires the owner(s) to visit the County Clerk’s office in person to title a vehicle, or transfer a title from another state, or apply for a license plate or transfer a plate from one vehicle to another. Basically this means Tennessee is considered a “tag and title” state, meaning that all road worthy vehicles MUST have a license plate assigned to them at the time a Tennessee title is issued. Motor vehicles, motorized bicycles, and certain trailers, when driven or moved upon a highway, are subject to the registration and certificate of title provisions of TCA Chapters 1-6 or Title 55 of the Tennessee Code Annotated. Bring the title in for the Title Clerk to review and often we can put an Affidavit of Correction with the title explaining the error and still be able to use that title. If you make a mistake or a signature is in the wrong spot do NOT mark through it or scribble it out. Tennessee does NOT allow for titling of motor vehicles with a bill of sale only.Īlterations, erasures or white out voids a title document and you will be required to get a replacement title. Every owner of a vehicle, except a licensed auto dealer, must obtain a title in his or her name. The State of Tennessee requires all motor driven vehicles, regardless of age, to be titled and registered upon purchase or transfer to a Tennessee resident. ![]()
