Explanation

When you sell or transfer a vehicle, you must report it to DMV within five days. This is to ensure that the new owner of the vehicle assumes responsibility for any outstanding fees or citations associated with the vehicle, as well as to prevent any potential fraudulent activities with the vehicle. It is important to note that the obligation to report the sale or transfer of a vehicle to the DMV is on the seller, not the buyer.
