A single page carrying the mileage declaration, used whenever the wording is not printed into the assignment on the certificate itself - which, on an electronic title, is always. It is the only Service Oklahoma form in this set with no notary block anywhere on it, and the only one that bars a company from signing: the statement must be completed using printed and signed names of individuals, not companies or organizations, and the same individual may not sign as both transferor and transferee.
Written against 729 (Rev 01/2023), issued under 47 O.S. 1107.1 and 1107.2.
Whatever reading goes here is what gets stamped onto the certificate issued to the buyer. If it is lower than the mileage already recorded against the vehicle, Service Oklahoma applies the ODOMETER DISCREPANCY brand automatically, without anyone ticking anything - and that brand follows the vehicle for the rest of its life.
Two documents, and they are not the same thing. Take the blank 729 from the oklahoma.gov copy so you get the revision that is current today.
This is the actual 729, rendered from the PDF the Service Oklahoma, Motor Vehicle Services publishes and completed end to end: letterhead, every field, and the blocks at the foot.
Amber — you write it
Grey — not yours to fill
Numbered — explained below
Neither box is ticked, which is what an ordinary honest reading looks like: the two boxes exist to say the odometer has rolled past its limit or that the figure is not the mileage. The two signature rules are printed lines with no field behind them, so they are left for the pen; everything the form gives a box to is filled.
Field by field
Every line, in the order you meet it
1
You fill this in
I, Transferor's (seller) Printed Name
Your name printed on the opening rule, as the individual making the declaration.
Watch out: If the vehicle is in a business name, the individual acting for the business prints their own name here. The form refuses a company name in terms.
2
You fill this in
state that the odometer now reads
The reading in whole miles, with the printed instruction NO Tenths sitting in the same line.
Watch out: Read it off the dashboard twice and then check it against the mileage already recorded on the title. A figure below that one brands the buyer's certificate automatically.
3
You fill this in
The two certification boxes
One for mileage in excess of the odometer's mechanical limits, one for a reading that is not the actual mileage.
Watch out: Leave both empty if the reading is the mileage. Ticking the second is not a modest disclaimer - it is the discrepancy warning, printed on the sheet in those words.
4
You fill this in
Make, Model, Body Type, Vehicle Identification Number, Year
The vehicle table under the declaration, five boxes across two rules.
Watch out: Copy the identification number from the title or the registration. This sheet is matched to the transfer by that number and nothing else.
5
You fill this in
Transferor's Printed Name, Date of Statement and Signature
Print, date and sign in the seller's band, then complete the address strip beneath it.
Watch out: The date of statement is the date of the disclosure, which should be the date of sale. A date days later invites the question of what the odometer did in between.
6
The buyer fills this in
Transferee's Printed Name, Date of Statement and Signature
The buyer prints, dates and signs to acknowledge the mileage, then gives their own address.
Watch out: Get this done at the handover. Chasing a buyer for an acknowledgement after they have driven away is the commonest reason this sheet arrives incomplete.
At a glance
What goes where
On the form
What to put in it
I, Transferor's (seller) Printed Name
The opening rule, running almost the full width of the sheet, above the sentence that carries the declaration.
state that the odometer now reads (NO Tenths) miles
One box in the middle of a printed sentence. The instruction against tenths is printed into the line itself.
Checkbox 1: mileage in excess of its mechanical limits
The first of two boxes, each attached to its own certification sentence. Left alone where the reading is genuinely the mileage.
Checkbox 2: the odometer reading is not the actual mileage
The second box, followed by the words Warning - Odometer Discrepancy in the printed text.
Make, Model, Body Type
Three boxes on one rule in the vehicle table below the declaration.
Vehicle Identification Number and Year
The second rule of the vehicle table.
Transferor's (seller) Printed Name and Date of Statement
Repeated under the vehicle table, with the label spelling out that it must be the printed name of the individual signing above, not a company or organization.
Transferor's (sellers) Signature
One rule, again labelled as the signature of an individual rather than of a company.
Address, City, State, ZIP Code
The seller's address strip, four boxes on one rule.
Transferee's (buyer) Printed Name and Date of Statement
The buyer's half of the sheet, laid out identically to the seller's.
Transferee's (buyer) Signature
The buyer acknowledging the mileage you have just certified to.
Address, City, State, ZIP Code
The buyer's address strip, closing the sheet.
What gets this one rejected
•A reading written with tenths. The printed instruction is NO Tenths, and a decimal turns a five-digit number into an argument.
•Both certification boxes ticked. They contradict each other - one says the reading exceeded the mechanical limits, the other says it is not the mileage.
•A company name in a printed-name box. The label says individuals, not companies or organizations, and a business signs through the human being acting for it.
•The same person signing as transferor and transferee. The sheet forbids it in a line of its own.
•The buyer's half left empty. Both parties print and sign; a declaration only one side made is not a disclosure.
•A reading that does not match the assignment or the bill of sale it travels with. Two documents about one handover disagreeing is what draws attention to both.
Rules that decide whether it is accepted
•Nobody notarises this one. It carries no acknowledgment block and no seal box. That is deliberate: the mileage declaration is federal in origin and Oklahoma has never added a notary to it.
•It is not needed on a 2010-or-older vehicle. Vehicles manufactured in or before the 2010 model year are exempt from executing a disclosure at all, so this sheet simply does not travel with them.
Every line here was read off 729 (Rev 01/2023) itself — the PDF is here — and off the Service Oklahoma, Motor Vehicle Services pages.
This is plain-language help with a form, not legal advice, and where our wording and the agency's differ,
theirs governs.
