Sell or transfer your vehicle.
All of the above.
Explanation

When you sell or transfer a vehicle, you must report it to the DMV within 5 days. This is important to ensure that the new owner has the correct documents and is able to register the vehicle in their name. Notifying the DMV also ensures that the vehicle has been properly transferred so that the seller is no longer responsible for any citations, fines, or liabilities related to the vehicle. Failing to report the sale or transfer of a vehicle can result in fines and other penalties.
