DR 2174 can be used for title assignment if issue date of a surrendered title indicates the title was issued prior to the date of the sale. The seller(s) must sign the surrendered title releasing their interest. A Secure POA may be used/however, the seller and buying entity must also sign the odometer disclosure on the surrendered title. The buying entity shall NOT sign the surrendered title on behalf of the seller using a DR 2174 POA to acknowledge the odometer disclosure.
If the issue date of the surrendered title is after the date of sale, or the title shows a lien and the lien was released after the date of sale: The seller(s) signature of a DR 2174 POA is sufficient to release the owner's interest. The buying entity must sign the title on behalf of the seller, releasing the seller(s) interest and acknowledging the odometer disclosure, and must also sign as the buying entity.
A signed reassignment document will not be accepted unless accompanied by a correctly executed title.
