A vehicle title is an official document that proves ownership of a vehicle, such as a car, truck, or motorcycle. It includes important information like the vehicle's make, model, year, and Vehicle Identification Number (VIN). When a vehicle is bought or sold, the title must be transferred to the new owner to ensure legal ownership. In many places, vehicle titles are issued by the Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) or a similar authority. Titles can also indicate if a vehicle has a lien, meaning it is financed or has outstanding loans. Keeping the title safe is essential for future transactions or registrations.
