What the Form 729 is and why it matters
Form 729 is Oklahoma's Odometer Disclosure Statement. Service Oklahoma's title page puts the rule simply: transferring a 2011 or newer motor vehicle takes a completed odometer disclosure. That disclosure is generally built into the title assignment, and when it isn't, Form 729 is required.
Since July 1, 2025 Oklahoma issues titles electronically, and a dealer sale of an electronically titled car goes on Form 718, the Bill of Sale of an Electronic Title. Form 718 has no odometer section, and its instructions say a federal odometer statement (Form 729) is required with it. On an electronic title, the 729 is how you disclose. This guide walks it box by box, including the rule that trips dealers up: every printed name has to be a person, not the dealership.
The current revision is Form 729, Revised 01/2023, from Service Oklahoma Motor Vehicle Services. It's one page: the seller's mileage statement with two status boxes, the vehicle, then a seller block and a buyer block. The PDF is fillable with plainly named fields, so you can upload it to DealerVLO once under Settings → Forms. DealerVLO recognizes this form and suggests a mapping, including the two status checkboxes. Review every suggestion before you save. The two seller printed-name fields stay unmapped, because the form requires the name of the individual who signs, not the dealership.
Documents to have before you start
Gather these before you complete the Form 729. A missing attachment is the number-one reason the Service Oklahoma, Motor Vehicle Services bounces a title application back.
- The assigned title, or Form 718 for an electronic title — Check the title's odometer section first. Form 718 has none, so a 2011 or newer vehicle needs a 729 with it.
- The Form 701-6 title application — Service Oklahoma lists the odometer disclosure among the documents for a title transfer. See the 701-6 guide.
- The purchase agreement — Form 718's instructions say a vehicle bought from a dealer needs the purchase agreement submitted.
- The car's current odometer reading — Read it on the day of sale and compare it to the title and any prior disclosures.
Form 729, section by section
When an Oklahoma dealer needs Form 729
Service Oklahoma's rules say Oklahoma titles issued on or after January 1, 1990 carry the odometer disclosure as part of the assignment on the back (OAC 670:20-37-5). When you assign one of those, the disclosure goes on the title. Form 729 is for when the title doesn't carry it. With electronic titles, there's no paper assignment to write on: Form 718, the Bill of Sale of an Electronic Title, has vehicle, buyer, sale, lien and seller blocks but no mileage statement, and its instructions say a federal odometer statement (Form 729) is required with it. Out-of-state titles with no odometer section need one too.
| Field | Who fills it |
|---|---|
Oklahoma paper title with an odometer assignment Disclose on the title. | You (dealer) |
Electronic title sold on Form 718 Form 729 goes with it for 2011 and newer vehicles. | You (dealer) |
Title with no odometer section Form 729 is the disclosure. | You (dealer) |
The mileage statement and the two boxes
The statement reads "I, (Transferor's (seller) Printed Name) state that the odometer now reads (NO Tenths) miles" and that, to the best of the seller's knowledge, it reflects the actual mileage unless a box is checked. The form says all names must be printed and signed names of individuals, not companies, so the person signing for your dealership prints their own name here. Write the reading in whole miles. Leave both boxes blank when the miles are actual. Box 1 is mileage in excess of the odometer's mechanical limits (a rolled-over odometer). Box 2 is "not the actual mileage. Warning – Odometer Discrepancy." In the PDF they're two separate checkboxes, "Excess" and "Not Actual Mileage," and DealerVLO suggests its matching odometer-status option for each.
| Field | Who fills it |
|---|---|
Transferor's (seller) printed name PDF field "Printed Name". The individual who signs, by hand. Don't map it. | You (dealer) |
Odometer now reads (no tenths) PDF field "Odometer". Map to the vehicle mileage. | You (dealer) |
1. In excess of its mechanical limits PDF field "Excess". Map to the exceeds-mechanical-limits option. | You (dealer) |
2. Not the actual mileage (odometer discrepancy) PDF field "Not Actual Mileage". Map to the NOT-actual option. | You (dealer) |
Vehicle block
Make, model, body type, VIN and year, copied from the title so they match the 701-6. The PDF names these fields plainly, and DealerVLO's auto-map should pick them up.
| Field | Who fills it |
|---|---|
Make, model, body type PDF fields "Make", "Model", "Body Type". | You (dealer) |
Vehicle identification number PDF field "VIN". All 17 characters. | You (dealer) |
Year PDF field "Year". | You (dealer) |
Transferor (seller) block
The printed name, date of statement, signature, and address of the seller. Each name line on the form repeats the rule: "Must be printed name of individual signing above, not company or organization." On a dealer sale that's your salesperson or manager, whoever signs. The address is your dealership's. The form also says the same individual may not sign as both transferor and transferee, so the person who signs for the dealership can't also sign as the buyer.
| Field | Who fills it |
|---|---|
Transferor's printed name PDF field "Sellers Printed Name". By hand. Don't map it. | You (dealer) |
Date of statement PDF field "Sellers Date of Statement". The sale date. | You (dealer) |
Transferor's signature No field. Ink, by the individual. | You (dealer) |
Address, city, state, ZIP PDF fields "Sellers Address", "Sellers City", "Sellers State", "Sellers ZIP". Map to the dealer's street, city, state and ZIP. | You (dealer) |
Transferee (buyer) block
The buyer's printed name, date of statement, signature, and address. Under 49 CFR 580.5(f) the buyer signs after the seller has signed and gets a copy. If the buyer is a business, the individual signing for it prints their own name, not the company's.
| Field | Who fills it |
|---|---|
Transferee's printed name PDF field "Buyer's Printed Name". Map to the buyer's full name. | You (dealer) |
Date of statement PDF field "Buyers Date of Statement". The sale date. | You (dealer) |
Transferee's signature No field. Ink. | Buyer |
Address, city, state, ZIP PDF fields "Buyer's Address", "Buyer's City", "Buyer's State", "Buyer's ZIP". | You (dealer) |
Exempt vehicles and the 5-year copy rule
Oklahoma's exemption list is in 47 O.S. § 1107.2, amended in 2023 to match the federal change. No disclosure is required for a vehicle over 16,000 lbs GVWR, a vehicle that isn't self-propelled, a vehicle manufactured in or before the 2010 model year, a 2011 or newer model transferred at least 20 years after January 1 of its model year, an all-terrain vehicle, a motorcycle used only off-road, a utility vehicle, or a new vehicle before its first retail sale. Under 49 CFR 580.8, dealers keep a copy of every odometer statement they issue or receive for five years, at their primary place of business, filed so it can be pulled on request. That includes the 729 or title disclosure you take on a trade-in.
| Field | Who fills it |
|---|---|
Model year 2010 or older Exempt. | You (dealer) |
Model year 2011 or newer, under 20 years Disclosure required. | You (dealer) |
Copy of every statement issued or received, kept 5 years Trade-ins included. | You (dealer) |
Common Form 729 mistakes that cause rejections
The form requires printed and signed names of individuals, not companies. The person who signs for the dealership prints their own name.
Form 718 has no odometer section, and its instructions call for a federal odometer statement with it. Attach a 729 for 2011 and newer vehicles.
Confirm "Excess" points at exceeds mechanical limits and "Not Actual Mileage" at not actual. Swapped, they'd certify the wrong status.
The form says NO tenths, and so does 49 CFR 580.5(c). Whole miles only.
The form says the same individual may not sign as both transferor and transferee.
Common questions
What is Oklahoma Form 729?+
Form 729 is Service Oklahoma's Odometer Disclosure Statement, Revised 01/2023. The seller states the odometer reading in whole miles and certifies it's the actual mileage unless a box is checked (over mechanical limits, or not the actual mileage). The seller and the buyer each print their name, sign, and date it.
When is Form 729 required in Oklahoma?+
Service Oklahoma requires a completed odometer disclosure when transferring a 2011 or newer motor vehicle. It's generally built into the title assignment. When it isn't, Form 729 is required. That includes a sale of an electronically titled vehicle on Form 718, which has no odometer section.
Can I put my dealership's name on Form 729?+
Not as the seller's printed name. The form says it must be completed using printed and signed names of individuals, not companies or organizations. The person who signs for your dealership prints their own name. Your dealership's address goes in the seller address block.
Does Form 729 need to be notarized?+
The form has no notary block. Other documents in the same title package may need one: Form 718 and the Form 701-6 oath both have notary jurats.
Which vehicles are exempt from odometer disclosure in Oklahoma?+
Under 47 O.S. § 1107.2: vehicles over 16,000 lbs GVWR, vehicles that aren't self-propelled, model year 2010 and older, 2011 and newer once they're 20 model years old, all-terrain vehicles, off-road-only motorcycles, utility vehicles, and new vehicles before their first retail sale.
How long do Oklahoma dealers keep odometer statements?+
Five years. 49 CFR 580.8 requires dealers to keep a copy of every odometer statement they issue or receive, at their primary place of business, in an order that allows systematic retrieval.
