Vehicle title application forms, state by state
Every state calls its title application something different — Texas has the 130-U, Massachusetts the RMV-1, Michigan the RD-108. This index lists the primary title application form for all 50 states plus DC: the form number, its official name, and the agency that issues it. Where we've written a field-by-field dealer walkthrough, it's linked in the last column.
DealerVLO fills your state's title application, the bill of sale, and the federal forms from one deal record. $29/month, free to try — cancel any time.

Form numbers and agencies verified against each state's official sources; states revise forms and fees periodically, so always confirm against the agency's current version before filing. A “—” in the form column means the state runs the transaction through a portal or dealer-issued document rather than a numbered public form.
How dealers actually use these forms
On a retail sale, the dealer prepares the title application for the buyer in almost every state — the differences are in who files it, where, and what tax rides along. Some states are dealer-filed with hard deadlines (Michigan's RD-108 within 15 days, Illinois' VSD 190 and ST-556 within 20). Some collect the tax at the title counter (Ohio), some by dealer remittance (New Jersey's tax stamp), and a few replace sales tax entirely (Georgia's 7% TAVT, North Carolina's 3% Highway Use Tax).
The mechanics differ, but the failure mode is the same everywhere: a name that doesn't match the license, a VIN that doesn't match the title, a tax base that doesn't match the buyer's order. The fix is also the same everywhere — generate the form from the deal record instead of retyping it. DealerVLO prints state title applications filled straight from the deal jacket, so the application, the bill of sale, and the tax math always agree.
