It depends on how the names are listed, whether they say and or or between the names. In both cases it would have to be one buys the others interest in the vehicle, even if only for $1.00, unless there is a loan and the lienholder holds title. In that case the vehicle would either have to be paid off before a change could be made or the one who wants to retain ownership would have to refinance to change the title. If it says and, it means that one person can't change or sell the vehicle without the express permission and signature of the other. If it says or, it means that either/or have the authority to sell the vehicle or change the title without the express permission of the other, but you still would have to obtain the signature of the other. The key is, IS THERE A LOAN?

To remove a cosigner from a car title in California, you typically need to refinance the car loan in your name only.
