How do I transfer a car in my name in Colorado?

Question

My father is giving me his car as a gift and I'm not sure how to get the title transfered in my name? Will I need to get new tags?

Answer 1

Eli is correct but you will need to show proof of insurance,too.

Answer 2

When your father signs the title over to you, have him write "GIFT" or $0.00 in the "sale price" box. That way you won't have to pay taxes on it, just the $9.00 title fee and license fee. If you bring the old license plates with you, you can get a pro-rated credit toward the purchase of your new plates.

Answer 3

he signs the title under seller and you sign under buyyer and yes you will have to get tags
