What is required to legally sell a vehicle in Wisconsin?

To legally sell a vehicle in Wisconsin, it is essential that the vehicle has a valid title. The title serves as the legal document confirming ownership of the vehicle, and it is required to transfer ownership from the seller to the buyer. Without a valid title, the seller cannot legally complete the sale, as it prevents potential fraud and ensures that the vehicle is not stolen or under any liens that could affect its sale.

Having a current vehicle inspection certificate, proof of payment for taxes, or a current emissions test report may be relevant in certain contexts or for specific vehicles, but they are not universally required for the sale of every vehicle in Wisconsin. The title is the key document that establishes ownership and enables the legal sale of the vehicle.
