If you find yourself in a situation that requires you to transfer the original title of your vehicle over to a family member of yours, there are a few simple steps that can be taken at the DMV to make that happen. This situation calls for you as well as the family member on the title to sign certain sections of the title. This is only if the family member either sold the vehicle to you or if you were given the vehicle as a gift. Every state has different regulations as to how the title loan process is done so we will include the basics for our three main states of service.

California DMV

The California DMV requires that the vehicle in question must pass a smog check unless it is exempt. A family member transfer is one of the transfers that makes you exempt from providing a smog test or paying the use tax. You will need to take various ownership documents(proof of ownership) to your local DMV office with your family member that you intend to transfer ownership of the vehicle and pay a fifteen-dollar vehicle title transfer fee to switch the signed title’s ownership to your family member.

New Mexico DMV

The New Mexico DMV requires that you obtain an odometer disclosure from the owner that is transferring the pink slip to the family member on the car and, in some cases, get the car inspected for emissions. However, just as in California, you will unlikely be asked to provide an emissions check. You will need to gather proof of identity, residency, and car insurance. You bring all of the paperwork to your local DMV office with the family member you wish to transfer ownership.

The Arizona DMV requires that you go with your family member to a DMV title transfer office in your area to complete the title and registration application, otherwise known as Form 96-0236. You will both sign the vehicle’s title and present the necessary documentation. You will need to pay a four-dollar fee along with any registration fees and pay sales tax. Go to this page for more extensive instructions specific to your situation.

Transferring the Title of a Deceased Person

Transferring the car title of a deceased person to a surviving loved one follows similar requirements as the aforementioned with a few additions. It is extremely simple to transfer the vehicle’s title with you having probate to inherit the vehicle. If you don’t have one, it is still possible even if it is more difficult. Without probate, you must present the DMV with an affidavit to transfer, an odometer disclosure statement, and the death certificate.
