What do I need to title and register a vehicle in a Secretary of State office? MICHIGAN VEHICLE CODE (EXCERPT) Act 300 of 1949.I have moved from Wyoming to Michigan. I need to change vehicle title. You will need to show proof of NoFault auto insurance and proof of your outofstate registration or title. A title certificate proves ownership of a car, truck, motorcycle, motorboat, or manufactured home. The title is used to transfer it to another owner. If the other person dies, you automatically have full ownership of that property. Sometimes joint ownership is more complex.
