| Owner Must Sign and Deliver
With limited exceptions, when an owner transfers his interest in a vehicle, other than by
creation of a security interest, the owner must, at time of delivery of vehicle, execute
an assignment and warranty of title to transferee, with a statement of each security
interest, lien, or other encumbrance on the vehicle, in space provided on ertificate. At
the time of delivery of vehicle, the owner must also deliver the certificate of title to
transferee. See Maryland Statutes Section 13-112 |
| Buyer Must Apply For Transfer Except
as provided in Section 13-113 of this subtitle, promptly after delivery to the transferee
of the vehicle, the transferee must complete application for a new certificate of title,
either on the certificate or approved form, mail or deliver the certificate and
application to the Administration. If the certificate and application are not received
within 30 days after delivery of vehicle to transferee, the Administration may assess the
applicant with additional service fee for making the transfer. See Maryland Statutes
Section 13-112

| TAXI! A person
may not knowingly sell, transfer, or otherwise dispose of any vehicle that has been used
as a taxicab unless the person attaches to certificate of title a signed statement that
the vehicle has been used as a taxicab. See Maryland Statutes Section 13-112 |
| Department Issues TitleWith
Appropriate Notations On receipt of a certificate of title to which
is attached the information required by this subsection, the Administration issues a new
certificate of title with notations appropriate to convey this information to new owner.
See Maryland Statutes Section 13-112 |
| Transfer Without Certificate
Prohibited No person other than a dealer may buy in this State and
no person may sell in this State any used vehicle of a type for which a certificate of
title is required under this subtitle unless a certificate of title of vehicle has been
issued by the Administration or by another state or country; or a certificate of
registration of vehicle has been issued by a state or country that does not issue
certificates of title. See Maryland Statutes Section 13-112 |
| Certificate Contents
Each certificate of title issued for a vehicle by the Administration must contain date
issued, name and Maryland address of owner of vehicle, names and addresses of all secured
parties, in order of their priority as shown on application or, if application is based on
a certificate of title, as shown on certificate, title number assigned to vehicle,
description of vehicle including, to extent that information exists, its make, model,
year, vehicle identification number, and type of body; classification or weight for
which vehicle is registered, and any other information that the Administration determines.
See Maryland Statutes Section 13-107 |
| A vehicle returned to the manufacturer or factory branch under
Maryland Lemon Law, and subsequently retitled in the State, must include a permanent
notation that informs all subsequent transferees. A certificate of title issued by
the Administration is prima facie evidence of the facts appearing on it. See Maryland
Statutes Section 13-107 |
|
| Electronic Title and Lien System
Regardless of other provisions of this section, the Administration is permitted to operate
an electronic system for the issuance of certificates of title and the recording and
releasing of security interests. The electronic system provides for the recording,
titling, and registration data without issuance of a certificate of title, and recording
and releasing liens without issuance of a security interest filing. See Maryland Statutes
