Go to the DMV with the signed Purchase Agreement and Cancelled Check indicating FULL PAYMENT. They will have you sign an affidavit and application for title.

If there is a LIEN or Security Interest on it, you will NOT be able to transfer title until paid. DId you buy from a Dealer or private party? WHy didn't you get title when you turned over the $$ ??
