SC DMV Form 400 PDF Details

This comprehensive document facilitates a range of processes from applying for a new title and registration to transferring titles and plates, handling titles for leased vehicles, and more. It mandates detailed information about the vehicle, including its identification number, make, model, and year, alongside odometer mileage to comply with federal and state law. Applicant details are also essential, capturing owner information and, if applicable, leasing company data.
