Whenever anyone buys or sells a car, they must transfer the certificate of title to the new owner. The title is issued by your local New Jersey Motor Vehicle Commission (MVC/DMV).

Versions of vehicle titles can vary from state to state, but they all will contain vehicle specifics such as the VIN (vehicle identification number), make, and year of manufacture.
