A notice of transfer is the official document filed with the Wisconsin DMV to record the change of vehicle ownership from the seller to the buyer and to update the title records. When you sell a vehicle, you sign the title over to the new owner and, if required, submit this notice so the DMV can reflect the new owner on the title. Submitting it helps ensure the buyer receives a valid title and protects the seller from liability after the sale. It isn’t about getting a dealer license, advertising filings, or tax notices, which are separate processes.
