Final answer:
Vehicles must be equipped with a certificate of title prior to registration
Step-by-step explanation:
Vehicles must be equipped with a certificate of title prior to registration. This certificate is a legal document that proves ownership of the vehicle and is issued by the Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV). It contains information such as the vehicle identification number (VIN), owner's name, and vehicle description. Without a certificate of title, a vehicle cannot be registered.
