- When New York passed its title law in the early 1970's, the state did not go
- back and issue titles for already registered motor vehicles.
-
- Automobiles (and I assume motorbikes) with model years of 1973 and later are
- issued titles by the N.Y. Department of Motor Vehicles.
-
- If the vehicle is 1972 and earlier, then the registration serves as the
- title. That's what that language on your registration is explaining. On
- later cars, the words NONTRANSFERABLE are printed and a title is issued.
-
- Does this help?
