• Do I go to the DMV to file a mobile home title transfer?

  • Title > Mobile Home Title

This might mean the DMV, as is the case in states like Delaware and Nebraska, or it might mean another state agency that handles title and registration transactions like Alabama’s Department of Revenue Motor Vehicle Division.

• Is a title transfer required when giving a vehicle as a gift?

  • Title > Title Transfer

  Gift, Gifts and Gifting Yes, a title transfer is required when giving used cars as gifts.
