Yes, a co-signer typically needs to be listed on the registration and title of the vehicle to ensure that they have a legal interest in the ownership and can be held responsible for any obligations associated with the vehicle. This is particularly important when financing a vehicle, as the lender may require both the primary borrower and the co-signer to be on the title. However, specific requirements can vary by state, so it's advisable to check local regulations.

Can a cosigner on a vehicle register a vehicle if they are not on the title?
No, a cosigner cannot register a vehicle if they are not listed on the title.

How can you find out if you are a co-buyer or a cosigner on a car loan and would your name be on the title and registration if you are a cosigner?
Easy, you can check your own credit report OR go to a registries office and do a quick search. A simpler method is to ask the person that is the primary borrower/buyer or call the lender. Either a cosigner or co-buyer can be listed on the title depending upon the agreement made by the persons involved.
