I don't understand the no title aspect. That some states will not issue a title. Is a title not an official document of ownership required to obtain registration to operate a vehicle? Here in Ontario (not sure about other provinces) one cannot get a licence plate sticker (registration tag) without presenting ownership card (title) no matter how old the car.

Every State in the US has their own unique title rules, regulations and types of titles. Or no titles at all. This makes it a complicated mess when buying and selling between various states. Where I live in OH, the state is "Title Crazy". Every stupid piece of equipment has a title, from a garden trailer, to a collector car. Outboard motor powered boats have 3 titles!! One for the motor, one for the boat and one for the trailer. It's pretty crazy here.

Some states dont issue titles after a vehicle reaches a certain age. To me titles are nothing more than another tax on us.

I buy cars out of NH all the time. No titles after a certain age. Here in MA we need them, which I hate. That said, it's not any more difficult registering a car without a title than with one. I just need a previous registration and a bill of sale.
