<\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\nYour car can be gifted to a spouse, parents, in-laws, stepchildren, adopted or half-siblings, and children, among other immediate family members. However, the vehicle must be paid in full before you can transfer its title to a member of your family. You are required to indicate “gift” in the space for the purchase price. In order for there to be a successful transfer, Form VR-005 and VR-103, otherwise known as Maryland gift certification, have to be completed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Following this transfer, your Maryland MVA license plates must be returned. Once registered, your relative will receive two new license plates. When transferring a car title to an aunt or uncle, you should pay taxes on the car, provided they are below 65 years of age. There is a 6% excise tax based on the value of the automobile in Maryland. When gifting a vehicle, the receiver doesn’t have to pay the tax unless they are an “aunt\/uncle.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n
