Used Car Dealership Affidavit of Fact

What a good one includes

• Full dealership details, including the official licensed business name, dealer license number, and physical address.
• Comprehensive vehicle identification information, specifically the VIN, make, model, year, and current odometer reading.
• A precise, chronological narrative of the facts being affirmed, such as correcting an incorrect mileage entry or clarifying a chain of ownership.
• A formal statement of truth declaring under penalty of perjury that the information provided is accurate to the best of your knowledge.
• Dedicated signature blocks for both the authorized dealership representative and a notary public, including space for the notary's official seal.
• Reference to supporting documentation, such as bill of lading numbers, auction invoices, or original title copies attached as exhibits.

Common mistakes to avoid

• Using vague descriptions of the error or discrepancy that fail to give state agencies or transport partners a clear resolution path.
• Omitting the exact Vehicle Identification Number or making a typo in the seventeen-digit code, which completely invalidates the document.
• Failing to use authorized signers, such as a licensed dealer principal or registered title clerk, which leads to immediate rejection by the DMV.
• Pre-signing the document before standing in the physical presence of a commissioned notary public.
