What Exactly is a Car Title Transfer?

A car title transfer is a mandatory procedure when the car owner wants to change the vehicle’s registration to a different province or city. Simply put, you “erase” the old registration information and “enroll” your car in the new location.

According to Robert Carter, an automotive market analyst in the US, simplifying the car title transfer process can boost the used car market and facilitate easier relocation for car owners.
