A vehicle’s title is issued by the state’s DMV (Department of Motor Vehicles) and is used to prove ownership. It contains detailed information regarding both the vehicle and its owner, including the make, model, year, VIN, odometer reading (at time of purchase), weight class, and lender information (if applicable), to name a few. In addition to the bill of sale, the title is the most important document tied to the vehicle and is required for insuring and registering a vehicle after purchasing it.
