Do you need a drivers license in order for a car title to be signed over to you?

Question

My sister just bought a new Mazda 5 and is selling me her old car. I was wondering if I need a drivers license in order for the title of the car to be signed over to me.I got my permit earlier this month and don't have a drivers license yet.

Answer 1

I know of no law, in any USA state that says in order to own a car you must also have a drivers license.  Drivers licenses are for driving a car, not for owning a car.  There are many, many people who have no license but own cars, register cars, insure cars and have someone else chauffeur them around in their cars

Answer 2

In ohio you have to show your drivers lic. when you go to get temp tags or plates for a vehicle. You wont have a problem having the title signed over to you but you will have problems getting plates.
