To give you a basic answer, the insurance company will only insure a vehicle if the listed owner is on the policy.
Mark
Insure?? yes, register? NOT unless your name is on the TITLE.
if the title is still in your name yes.
Is the bank really going to agree??
If your name is on the title
Yes most insurance company never ask for the title. there are Insurance company's on the web that will insure you and the vehicle weather you own it or not.
I know you can put the car your insurance but to register a different story
In the state of New York, you can only register a vehicle when the title is in someone else's name if you have power of attorney for that person. If you are registering for a person in the military you must have the forms MV-454 and MV-456.
I would say no. You cannot insure a vehicle that you do not own. I know in my state the registration is issued in the name of the person who owns the vehicle. I don't know of any instance where it would be different.
No, a cosigner cannot register a vehicle if they are not listed on the title. The title typically indicates ownership, and only individuals named on the title have the authority to register the vehicle. The cosigner's role is to guarantee the loan, not to confer ownership rights. Therefore, the person whose name is on the title must complete the registration process.
Most states will not allow you to register a vehicle with a CD title. To find out if the state you want to register the car in allows it, contact the DMV office.
Pay off the lien or have the current owner pay it off. In some states you must wait for the title from the finance company in order to properly register and insure the vehicle.
The lien must be paid off and the title must then be signed over to you. You cannot insure and register the car in your name without a title.
