Selling a used car as a New Jersey dealer: the paperwork

This page lists the official New Jersey forms that come up when a dealership sells a used car, each linked straight to nj.gov. New Jersey’s main title application is OS/SS-UTA, Universal Title Application.

Forms used on nearly every sale come first, then the ones for specific situations. We check every link weekly.
