FAQ
Anytime there's a change to a vehicle or vessel's registered owner or lienholder, that change needs to be updated in DMV's records within 10 days and the California Certificate of Title needs to be transferred to the new owner.
If the buyer does not sign the title and mail or give it to DVS, then the seller's name stays on the title of the car. If the buyer doesn't transfer the title within 10 days, the car's registration is suspended. What should I do if I sold a car but didn't report the sale? You should report the sale to DVS immediately.
How do you get a lien removed from a car title? Once your car loan is completely paid off, obtain a car title lien release from your lender so your state BMV or DMV can put the car title in your name.
Non-holding states Once you pay off your loan, your lienholder will send you an official release of lien letter. You'll take that to your state BMV or DMV (or, in some cases, to your local city/town clerk's office) along with your current title and apply for an updated title.
In California, the DMV governs the process for enforcing these liens and conducting lien sales. The lien gives the repair shop or storage facility the legal right to retain possession of the vehicle until payment is made or to sell the vehicle to recoup the costs of the unpaid services.
The state of California has not yet recognized you as the legal owner of the vehicle if you have not transferred title into your name. Therefore, you do not have legal authority to sell or trade the vehicle. If you attempt to do so you would be guilty of ?title jumping? which is an illegal offense punishable by law.

If you are selling your car, you need to give the new owner a valid smog certification when you sell the car. If the car you are selling is less than four years old, you do not need to get a smog inspection. Instead, the new owner of the car will need to pay a smog transfer fee.
