Requirements

All vehicles must be titled with the Louisiana Office of Motor Vehicles (OMV). [1]

The OMV accepts notarized titles (assigned by seller to buyer) and notarized bills of sale as proof of vehicle ownership necessary for titling.

Language Requirements

Louisiana Vehicle Bill of Sale forms are typically in English. However, you can use another language if both parties understand the content. 

Notarization

You only need to notarize the bill of sale, invoice, or title with the OMV, but a trading vehicle listed on the form must be notarized.
