Is it legal to sell a vehicle without a title in Wisconsin?

In Wisconsin, it is indeed illegal to sell a vehicle without a title. The title serves as a legal document proving ownership of the vehicle. It is a critical requirement to ensure that the transaction is legitimate and that the buyer is receiving clear ownership from the seller. Without a title, the buyer cannot legally register the vehicle, which raises concerns about the vehicle possibly being stolen or encumbered by liens. This legal framework is in place to protect both buyers and sellers in auto transactions.

Options that suggest it's permissible under certain circumstances may mislead sellers and buyers into thinking there are loopholes when, in reality, the title is essential for any legitimate sale of a vehicle in the state.
