1. Gather Required Documents:
- The auto bill of sale Alabama (must include the buyer’s and seller’s information, sale price, and description of the vehicle).
- A valid title signed by the seller.
- A completed application for a certificate of title (available at your local DOR office).
- Proof of Alabama auto insurance.
- Payment for registration fees and taxes.
2. Visit the Local DOR Office:
Head to your county’s DOR office with the above documents. If you’re unsure where to go, you can use the Alabama DOR website to locate the office nearest to you.
3. Pay Fees:
Registration fees vary depending on the type and weight of the vehicle, so check the fee schedule for your specific situation. Be prepared to pay additional taxes based on the sale price listed in the bill of sale.
4. Submit Emissions or Inspection Reports (If Required):
While Alabama does not have statewide emissions testing, certain counties may require inspections. It’s best to check with your local DOR to confirm any additional requirements.
