Can I add my husbands name to my car title, or anyone else's name for that matter?

Hi, Joeswife,
In the State of VA, both of you would have to go to the Division of Motor Vehicles office nearest you; that is, if you have the title. You would both sign agreements, then a new title would be mailed to you, or printed out right there.
If you owe the bank (or another money), then the bank has the title, and you both would go see them.
Normally, they will have to have his signature in order to add him to the title, or the signature (if not a minor), of any other person.
Best of luck.

Yea all you have to do is go to your local dmv and tell them. Your going to need his signature and pay some gift taxes.

This is not nesseasrilly true. It depends on the car's value and the place you live. For example, here in Ontario (Canada?), you can give a person a gift of up to $11,000/year tax free. You are giving your husband 50%, so if the car is not worth more than $22,000, then no tax needs to be paid.

For the US, first the car will have to be paid off, ( no loans on it)

Then you and the person you want on the title go down together to the DMV and have them added.

This is assumingyou are merley adding thier name and not taking yours off. If you are talking yours off, that is "selling" the car and you merley sign the title over to them on the back of the title ( in most states) and they take it to the DMV.

I do not know of anywhere you can title it in someones name and they not know about it
