FRANKLIN COUNTY CLERK OF COURTS<br />

<strong>AUTO</strong> <strong>TITLE</strong> <strong>MANUAL</strong><br />

Never make any alterations on this document. Obtaining a duplicate MCO can be time<br />

consuming and costly.<br />

Verify that you have the proper MCO before making the assignment. The rules discussed<br />

under “Application for Title” on the previous pages pertaining to the name and address of<br />

the purchaser also apply to the assignment on the MCO. The MCO and the title<br />

application should reflect the same information.<br />

Complete the assignment on the MCO. Enter the dealer’s name and permit number, sign<br />

the document and state your position with the dealership (title clerk, office manager, etc.)<br />

again keeping in mind the proper way to list your dealer permit number using the -01*, -<br />

02, -03, etc. The MCO must be notarized. For sample forms, see exhibits "G" and<br />

"H".<br />

Certificate of Title<br />

The face of the title shows the issuing county, the county of residence, title number,<br />

description of the vehicle or watercraft, the owner’s name and address, lien information,<br />

and the type of title (salvage, duplicate, etc.).<br />

The reverse or back of the title is divided into two main parts - the assignment and the<br />

application.<br />

The top portion of the title is the assignment, where the owner of a vehicle or watercraft<br />

assigns his or her interest to someone else. It is very important that this information be<br />

fully completed; including the buyer’s acknowledgment of the odometer statement 1<br />

(unless a separate federal odometer statement has been provided).<br />

The lower portion of the back of the title is the application. This is where the new owner<br />

applies for their <strong>Ohio</strong> title. This information must be accurate and legible and must<br />

correspond with the assignment.<br />

All supporting documents must accompany the certificate of title to the Clerk’s office for<br />

the issuance of the new title. These supporting documents include, (but not be limited to)<br />

powers of attorney, odometer statements, etc. For sample forms, see exhibits "I" and<br />

"J".<br />

Retail Sale<br />

A retail sale can be defined as a sale from a dealer to an ultimate purchaser.<br />

Always make certain the title you are completing is for the same vehicle or watercraft<br />

sold to the customer. Check the year, make, body type, and most important, the serial<br />

number.<br />
