What Maryland law says

Selling a vehicle: bill of sale and title	When an owner sells a titled vehicle, the owner must, at delivery, sign an assignment and warranty of title to the buyer on the certificate of title, listing any security interest, lien or other encumbrance, and deliver the title to the buyer. Promptly after delivery, the buyer must complete an application for a new title (on the certificate or as the Motor Vehicle Administration requires) and mail or deliver it with the title to the MVA; if the MVA does not receive them within 30 days after delivery, it may charge an additional service fee.
