Explanation
In California, you are legally required to notify the DMV within five days of selling or transferring your vehicle. This is done by submitting a Notice of Transfer and Release of Liability (NRL) online. This notice informs the DMV that you are no longer responsible for the vehicle, including any future parking tickets, traffic violations, or legal issues associated with it after the date of sale.
