How do I change the title on my car?

Question

My uncle gave me his car but he never changed the name on the title. I want to get the title of the car in my name. How do I go about doing this? What documents do I need and where do I go? I heard that you go to the currency exchange to do this but can you also go to the DMV?

Answer 1

Your uncle needs to fill out the ownership transfer information on the title before you can get it in your name.   Explain to your Uncle that the way it is now, the car is still legally his and he is responsible if something bad happens.  

Answer 2

either one works.  I went to the currency exchange here in Illinois to transfer a title and get new plates.  Cost $200
