• Seller's information . This section contains gaps where a filer must fill out the information about the seller: their name and address, date when the vehicle was sold, and its price;
• Information about a loan or lien . Here an applicant must designate the name and address of a lienholder, and the date of the lien;
• Tax exemption . If a filer is claiming tax exemption from Connecticut Sales or Use Tax, they must enter the exemption information in this section of the form;
• Owner's signature . In this section a filer must put their signature and date when the document was signed;
• Leased vehicle information . One of three additional sections which must be filled in only if an applicant's transaction requires them to do so. Here a filer must designate the name and the address of a lessee, their state, and information about a co-lessee;

According to the instruction, after a vehicle owner completes the document they should visit the official website of the DMV to check the list of documents they must attach to their application. While most of the time an applicant is supposed to submit their documents to the DMV office in person, there are a few cases when a filer can mail documents.

For example, if an applicant is applying for a change of a lienholder to a title they must attach to the application their current title and a check of $45 payable to the DMV. After that, they should mail their documents to the Department of Motor Vehicles, Specialized Registry Services, 60 State Street, Wethersfield, CT 06161.
