What is the protocol for notifying the DMV about a vehicle transfer under Title 26?

The protocol for notifying the DMV about a vehicle transfer under Title 26 involves submitting a notice of transfer and completing the registration process. This procedure ensures that the transfer of ownership is officially recognized and documented. When a vehicle is sold or transferred, the seller must inform the DMV to update their records and prevent any future liability associated with that vehicle.

Completing the registration process is equally important because it allows the new owner to establish their legal ownership and registration of the vehicle in their name. This step helps avoid complications regarding ownership disputes, potential legal liabilities, and the enforcement of vehicle-related laws.

By following this protocol, both parties—the seller and the new owner—ensure a smooth transition of ownership and compliance with state regulations.
