Do you need a license to title a car in your name?

Answer 1

Technically, no. But, this will vary from state to state. Most states do require a driver's license to register a car, but not to transfer title. Transfer of title is typically required within 10 to 20 days of receipt, so they cannot prevent you from titling as well, in most cases - but they can prevent you from registering.

Answer 2

No. Title is your proof or ownership and should be kept in a safe place like a bank safe deposit box. You should, however, always carry your vehicle's registration documents in the car. These also demonstrate ownership and show that required taxes have been paid.
