Summary
In Washington, after selling a vehicle, you should report the sale to the WA Department of Licensing and keep a copy of the bill of sale. You can file a Release of Interest without the buyers presence or the title. This process generally protects you from future liabilities, including traffic tickets, even if you didnt keep your old plates. Filing the Release of Interest in Washington wont affect the buyer if they have registered the vehicle in Oregon.Full Conversation
