How is a vehicle title different from a vehicle registration?

A vehicle title and a vehicle registration are two separate documents that serve different purposes.

A vehicle title is a legal document that establishes ownership of a vehicle.

On the other hand, a vehicle registration is a document that provides proof that a vehicle has been registered with the appropriate government authority.

While a vehicle’s title does not need to be renewed, the registration is typically renewed periodically, and it serves as evidence that the vehicle meets the necessary requirements to be driven on public roads.
