At the time of reselling a vehicle, its title is signed by its original owner and then it is registered by a new owner. From then on the new owner is regarded as the current owner of the car and given a new car title by the DMV. Certain other relevant information and terms are also maintained in a car title, but that should be inquired well at the time of purchasing a used car.
