Helpful Hints:

* License Plate Removal - Make sure you physically remove your license plates and city sticker from your vehicle before you hand over the title or keys to your car to the buyer.

* When selling your vehicle: Make sure to draw up a VALID BILL OF SALE, including obtaining a copy of the BUYERS Drivers License for identity purposes.

* Changing data regarding your License Plates and Drivers License - Each item must be done separately, changing information on your license plates does not automatically change your information on your Drivers License.

* People often ask - How did the Burbank officer get my name, I sold that car years ago?

***The answer will generally be that the title was never changed over by the buyer, hence the Vehicle Identification Number that the officer checks through the computer system and the SOS office will report that the owner is still (YOU)***
