The odometer disclosure statement is Form 3019, the Missouri Department of Revenue (DOR) Motor Vehicle Bureau form on which the seller states a vehicle's mileage when ownership transfers. It is used when the certificate of title or manufacturer's statement of origin does not meet the federal requirements for a proper odometer disclosure.

What is 3019?
Form 3019, Odometer Disclosure Statement, is the Missouri Department of Revenue form on which a seller states the mileage shown on a vehicle's odometer at the time ownership is transferred, and which the purchaser and seller both sign.
The form opens with a warning: federal law (and state law, if applicable) requires you to state the mileage upon transfer of ownership, and failing to complete it or giving a false statement may result in fines and/or imprisonment. The DOR instructions say a separate statement must be issued by the seller and attached to the certificate of ownership when a certificate of title or a manufacturer's statement of origin does not meet the federal requirements for a proper odometer disclosure.
The page identifies the vehicle (year, make, model, body style, vehicle identification number, title number and state) and then offers four disclosure spaces. Each space records the purchaser, the seller or firm, the dealer number if any, the odometer reading with no tenths, and the signatures and hand-printed names. Two boxes cover discrepancies: Mileage in excess of its mechanical limits and Mileage reading not actual (WARNING, ODOMETER DISCREPANCY).
The form is printed as MO 860-2086 (01-2021) and has instructions on the reverse. It is not used where the odometer disclosure is made on the back of a Missouri title issued after August 28, 1989.
Who needs to file 3019?
Purchasers and sellers of a motor vehicle in Missouri use Form 3019 at a transfer of ownership when the certificate of title or manufacturer's statement of origin does not meet the federal requirements for a proper odometer disclosure. The seller issues the statement and states the mileage. One purchaser and one seller must sign it. If the purchaser or seller is an agent or officer of a firm, the printed name is followed by the person's official position.
Do not use a separate Form 3019 in these cases:
- The Missouri title was issued after August 28, 1989. The odometer disclosure is then completed on the back of the title instead.
- The vehicle is exempt: model year 2010 or older and at least ten years of age at the time of ownership transfer; model year 2011 or newer and at least twenty years of age at transfer; a vehicle with a gross vehicle weight rating of more than 16,000 pounds; or a new vehicle transferred from one franchise dealer to another.
The form does not describe signing on behalf of someone else beyond the agent or officer of a firm rule.
When to file 3019
Complete Form 3019 at the time ownership of the vehicle is transferred. The DOR instructions say the seller's separate statement is attached to the certificate of ownership at the time of transfer, and the mileage stated must be the exact reading on the odometer at that moment. The form prints no separate due date.
If you correct an error, the corrected statement and the signed explanation of the error must both accompany the application for title. Keep a copy: the form says the purchaser and seller should each retain a copy of the statement.
Documents you need
- Certificate of ownership (title) or manufacturer's statement of origin: the statement is attached to it at transfer when it does not meet the federal requirements for a proper odometer disclosure.
- A seller's written statement explaining all facts regarding the discrepancy, when Mileage reading not actual (WARNING, ODOMETER DISCREPANCY) is checked.
- A statement explaining the error, completed and signed by both purchaser and seller, when you correct a mistake made in the second, third or fourth disclosure space.
- The application for title, which both the corrected odometer disclosure statement and the error statement must accompany when a correction was made.
- A new Form 3019 attached to the original, with the error statement, when the mistake was made in the fourth disclosure space.
How to fill out 3019
Identify the vehicle
Enter the year, make, model, body style and vehicle identification number, plus the title number and the state. All of this can be typed.
Enter the purchaser's details
In the first disclosure space, give the purchaser's name (printed or typed), the date and the address.
Enter the seller's details
Give the seller's (firm) name, the dealer number if one applies, and the address. If the seller is an agent or officer of a firm, record the official position after the printed name.
Record the odometer reading
In the Odometer Reading box, enter the exact mileage shown at the time of transfer, with no tenths.
Check a discrepancy box if needed
Check Mileage in excess of its mechanical limits or Mileage reading not actual (WARNING, ODOMETER DISCREPANCY) only if one applies. For the second, the seller attaches a statement explaining all facts about the true mileage.
Sign and hand print names
One purchaser and one seller sign, and each hand prints their name in the boxes provided. These cannot be typed or computer generated.
Use the next space for another transfer
The form has four disclosure spaces. If you make an error in the second, third or fourth, draw a large "X" in it and make the correct disclosure in the next one, then attach the signed explanation of the error.

How to submit 3019
Form 3019 has no filing channel of its own: it is attached to the certificate of ownership at the time of transfer and accompanies the application for title.
- Attach to the title paperwork. The seller issues the statement and attaches it to the certificate of ownership when the vehicle transfers.
- With the title application. When a correction was needed, both the odometer disclosure statement and the signed statement explaining the error must accompany the application for title.
- With a discrepancy statement. If Mileage reading not actual (WARNING, ODOMETER DISCREPANCY) is checked, the seller attaches a statement explaining all facts regarding the discrepancy.
- Copies. The purchaser and seller should retain a copy.
The form prints no mailing address, portal or appointment rule. DOR lists motor vehicle information at www.dor.mo.gov/mvdl. FillingPDF lets you fill out and download the PDF; submission follows the channels above.
Common mistakes to avoid
- Using a separate Form 3019 when the Missouri title was issued after August 28, 1989; the disclosure goes on the back of that title.
- Entering tenths of a mile; the seller must state the exact odometer mileage excluding tenths.
- Typing or computer-generating the printed names; one purchaser and one seller must hand print their names, and signatures must also be made by hand.
- Leaving out the signature of the purchaser or of the seller; one of each must sign.
- Checking Mileage reading not actual without attaching the seller's statement explaining all facts about the true mileage.
- Changing an error in disclosure space two, three or four by writing over it instead of drawing a large "X" and making the correct disclosure in the next space.
- Submitting a correction without the signed statement explaining the error; both documents must accompany the application for title.
- Omitting the official position after the printed name when the purchaser or seller is an agent or officer of a firm.
Frequently asked questions
What is the odometer disclosure statement, Form 3019?
Form 3019 is the Missouri Department of Revenue's Odometer Disclosure Statement. The seller uses it to state a vehicle's exact mileage when ownership transfers and the title or manufacturer's statement of origin does not meet the federal odometer disclosure requirements. The purchaser and seller both sign it.
Do I need Form 3019 if my Missouri title has an odometer section?
Usually not. The DOR instructions say that if the Missouri title was issued after August 28, 1989, the odometer disclosure is completed on the back of the title rather than on a separate statement. Form 3019 is for cases where the title or manufacturer's statement of origin does not meet the federal requirements.
Which vehicles are exempt from the odometer disclosure?
Exempt vehicles are those of model year 2010 or older and at least ten years old at transfer, model year 2011 or newer and at least twenty years old at transfer, vehicles over 16,000 pounds gross vehicle weight rating, and new vehicles transferred from one franchise dealer to another.
Who signs Form 3019?
One purchaser and one seller must sign, and one purchaser and one seller must hand print their names. Everything else on the form may be typed or computer generated. If either party is an agent or officer of a firm, the official position follows the printed name.
What if the odometer mileage is wrong or unknown?
Check Mileage reading not actual (WARNING, ODOMETER DISCREPANCY) when the true mileage differs from the odometer or is unknown, and attach the seller's statement explaining all facts. If the actual mileage exceeds what the odometer can show, check Mileage in excess of its mechanical limits instead.
How do I correct a mistake on the odometer disclosure statement?
For an error in the second, third or fourth disclosure space, draw a large "X" in it and make the correct disclosure in the next space. Purchaser and seller then sign a statement explaining the error, and both documents accompany the application for title. For an error in the fourth space, attach a new statement.
Can I fill out the odometer disclosure statement online?
Yes. You can fill out Form 3019 online on FillingPDF and download or print the completed PDF. Signatures and hand-printed names must still be made by hand, and FillingPDF does not file the form: it is attached to the title paperwork through the channels DOR uses.
