Title Transfer
When a vehicle/vessel is bought or sold, or there’s any change to the registered owner or lienholder (legal owner), the California Certificate of Title needs to be transferred to the new owner.
Vehicle Registration Renewal
It is important to keep your vehicle or vessel’s registration up-to-date to avoid fees and suspensions.
Duplicate Title
A duplicate California Certificate of Title must be obtained when the original is lost, stolen, mutilated, illegible, or not received.
