Can two names be on a car title?

My partner and I are planning to buy a brand new car. We’ll both use it regularly. Can two names be on a car title?

That’s so exciting! The joy of driving off in a new car is incomparable.
Yes! You can have two names on your car title.
However, details matter in this instance. Here’s what you need to know:
  • The first person listed on a car title will serve as the primary titleholder
  • The next person listed will be the secondary titleholder
  • It’s your responsibility to ensure both names are listed and in the correct order
As you navigate obtaining your new car’s title, ensure you have the right car insurance policy to complement your new vehicle.
