A vehicle title is an official document that proves ownership of a motor vehicle, such as a car, truck, or motorcycle. It contains important information, including the vehicle's make, model, year, and Vehicle Identification Number (VIN). The title is issued by the state’s Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) and is required for buying, selling, or registering a vehicle. When a vehicle is sold or transferred, the title must be signed over to the new owner. This process ensures that the new owner has legal rights to the vehicle. Keeping the title safe is essential, as losing it can complicate future transactions involving the vehicle.
