How to fill out DR 2395 Application for Title and/or Registration (Colorado)

What this form is

DR 2395 Application for Title and/or Registration is the application a buyer files with Colorado to put a vehicle in their name. A dealer usually fills in the vehicle, seller, buyer, lien holder and sale information so the buyer can finish titling.

Colorado's title and registration application, filled from the deal: the VIN one character to a box, the vehicle, the dealer number and purchase date, the owner names and address, and the first lien holder with the amount financed. The county-use boxes and the signature and ID section are left blank.
