It depends totally on what state you live in. In Wisconsin, if you have a lien on the vehicle (making payments) you WILL have the title, but in Wisconsin if the vehicle is leased, the lessor, or leasing company will have the title. You will need to go to the DMV and fill out a title application to have the vehicle ownership transfered legally. If there is a lien on the vehicle and, a lien holder or bank will appear on the title and this needs to be paid before you can transfer ownership. If a lien holder shows but the loan is paid then you will need proof of that which is called a lien release. And, unless you are transfering ownership to a family member, you have to show some monetary value to make it legal. You have to show a bill of sale for the vehicle, even it is for $1.00. I work in a car dealership and I deal with this everyday. It is never as simple as writing over someone elses name and you definately do not want to make up the mileage because that can come back to YOU as odometer fraud. Every state is different. You better go talk to the DMV.

Whoevers name is on the title now needs to sign the back of the title to relinquish it to the new owner. (the person who wants the car in there name)
Now contact the DMV if your unsure how to sign the back of the title. I work for the DMV in Alabama and ppl. who come in to change there titles have sooo much trouble. Esp. if the back is made out incorrectly. If its messed Montgomery (main location for everything dealing with DMV) will reject the title. Its happened several times.
Also if the person has sold the car to u do up a bill of sale!!! If it was just given to u.. u can do up a bill of sale for like $1 or do it as a gift. Be sure to contact the DMV though. Check the link below.. wasn't for sure which state u were living in but, hope this is helpful.

Fill out the name of the new person on that original title (you won't have the original if there is still a loan on the car). Put down the mileage of the car at the time of transfer (and sign that it is the true mileage).

If there is a loan on the car, you will have to have the loan put into the other person's name.
If no loan, simply fill out the back of your title.
Good Luck!

Depends if the name change is yours and done legally or you are giving the car as a gift to someone else to drive.

It depends on which state you live in...try contacting your local DMV (Department of Motor Vehicles) or a local tag agency.
