How to fill out North Dakota SFN 60806

The heavier of North Dakota's two mileage corrections, and the one that applies once the mistake has already been printed. Where a certificate of title was issued carrying the wrong reading, this form starts the process of getting it right - and the department states the stakes in its own line halfway down: the inability to provide the below documentation may result in the title being marked WARNING NOT ACTUAL MILEAGE. It is signed by the individual who originally made the error or alteration, notarised, and sent with four other things to the central office in Bismarck.

Written against SFN 60806 (4-2026), issued under North Dakota Department of Transportation, Motor Vehicle Division; the odometer disclosure the Registration Manual applies under NDCC 39-05-05(1)(g). Gather the service records before you complete anything. The department's list asks for a series of records that validate the mileage before and after the title was issued, and it reserves the right to ask for more at any point - so an application built on one oil-change invoice is an application that produces a branded title rather than a corrected one. Garages keep service histories on file for years, and a phone call usually produces them.

Two documents, and they are not the same thing. Take the blank SFN 60806 from the dot.nd.gov copy so you get the revision that is current today, then print our SFN 60806 guide and keep it beside you while you fill theirs in.

Every line, in the order you meet it

1. 1
   You fill this in

   Title Number and Title Issue Date

   The certificate that carries the wrong reading, identified by number and by the date it was issued.

   Watch out: Both are printed on the certificate itself, which is going back to the department with this form anyway.

2. 2
   You fill this in

   Corrected Odometer Reading

   The reading as it should have been recorded at the time the error occurred.

   Watch out: Historical, not current. Your service records have to support this figure at that date, which is why the department asks for records from either side of it.

3. 3
   You fill this in

   Vehicle Identification Number

   The VIN of the vehicle whose record is being corrected.

   Watch out: Check it against the certificate. The department's field ordering on this form is idiosyncratic and it is easy to write the number into the wrong line.

4. 4
   You fill this in

   The odometer reading was recorded incorrectly because

   A free-text explanation - what the correct figure was, what was written instead, and how it happened.

   Watch out: Name the evidence you are attaching, with dates and readings. This block is what a reviewer reads first, and vague is the enemy of a corrected title.

5. 5
   You fill this in

   Name of individual requesting the correction

   Last, first, middle, with a telephone number and full mailing address.

   Watch out: The requester is whoever made the original error. If that was the buyer, this is the buyer's application and the buyer's notary appointment.

6. 6
   You fill this in

   Name printed and signature

   Under penalties of perjury, signed before a Notary Public or Authorized Officer.

   Watch out: Assemble the four other documents first - the secure disclosure where a sale was involved, the $5.00 title fee, the original certificate and the service records - so the whole package goes in one envelope.

7. 7
   Somebody else fills this in

   The Acknowledgment block

   State, county, sworn date, the notary's printed name, stamp, signature and commission expiration date.

   Watch out: The officer's, not yours. And the whole package goes to the central office address printed at the top of the form, not to a branch.

What gets this one rejected

• •Sending it without the original mis-issued certificate. It is item four on the department's own list, and the correction is a replacement of that document rather than an annotation of it.
• •Records from only one side of the error. The department asks for service, maintenance or repair records validating the mileage before and after the title was issued - a single recent invoice does not bracket anything.
• •Skipping the secure disclosure where the mistake happened during a sale. Item two on the list requires it, completed in full with the appropriate signatures from seller and buyer, and the department issues it on request rather than publishing it.
• •Sending it to a branch. This one goes to the address printed at the head of the form - the Motor Vehicle Division's central office in Bismarck.
• •Signing before a notary is present. It is a sworn statement under penalties of perjury, like the department's other affidavits.

Rules that decide whether it is accepted

• •The corrected figure is historical, not current. The form asks for the reading at the time the error occurred. Writing today's mileage into that box answers a question the department did not ask and undermines the records you are attaching.
• •The brand is the alternative outcome. WARNING NOT ACTUAL MILEAGE is what a North Dakota title carries when the correction cannot be substantiated, and it stays with the vehicle. That is what the documentation list is for.
• •It is the sequel to the statement of error, not a substitute. The statement of error handles a wrong reading on an assignment that has not been processed. Once the department has printed a certificate from it, this is the only route.
• •Whoever made the error signs. The instruction at the head of the form is unambiguous, and it is not automatically the seller - if a buyer transcribed the figure wrongly onto their application, the buyer signs.
