What document proves ownership of a vehicle under Title 20?

• A. Vehicle registration
• B. Insurance policy
• C. The vehicle's title
• D. Bill of sale

Answer: (C)

The vehicle's title is the legal document that proves ownership of a vehicle under Title 20. It contains important information such as the vehicle identification number (VIN), the owner's name and address, and details about the vehicle, including make, model, and year. The title is essential when it comes to transferring ownership, as it must be signed over from the seller to the buyer during a sale or transfer of the vehicle.

While vehicle registration shows that a vehicle is officially registered with the state and may be needed to operate the vehicle on public roads, it does not serve as proof of ownership. An insurance policy provides coverage for the vehicle but does not indicate who owns it. A bill of sale may record the transaction in which the vehicle was sold, but it is not the official document that establishes ownership in the eyes of the law. Thus, the vehicle's title remains the definitive proof of ownership.
