Odometer Disclosure Information

Dealers are required to retain records containing an odometer declaration for five years. These records must be open for inspection by the Secretary of State, State Board of Registration of Used Motor Vehicle Dealers, or representatives of the Department of Revenue.

Sellers must accurately disclose vehicle’s odometer reading at the time of sale on a secure transfer document (Title, Dealer Reassignment, or Secure Power of Attorney).

Sellers should

Enter the following in the odometer box:

  • Actual mileage, or
  • The word “exempt” when the vehicle is exempt from odometer disclosure

Buyers should

  • Acknowledge the odometer declaration made by the seller by printing name and signing a title with actual mileage listed
