If a vehicle lists co-owners, what is required for transferring ownership?

When a vehicle has co-owners, both must sign the transfer documents for ownership to be officially transferred. This requirement ensures that any co-owner agrees to the sale and transfer of the vehicle, thus preventing disputes later on regarding the ownership or sale of the vehicle. Co-ownership implies shared legal rights over the vehicle, so both individuals must consent to change the title and ownership status.

The process requiring both signatures reflects standard practices in vehicle ownership transfer to protect all parties involved and maintain proper legal documentation. This helps ensure that the transaction is legitimate and that both co-owners are aware and agreeable to the change in ownership status. In the case of the other choices, only one signature would not suffice for co-owned vehicles, a witness is generally not necessary for this particular transaction, and inspection is unrelated to the transfer of ownership in this context.
