To give a vehicle to a family member in Tennessee, you'll need to transfer the title of the vehicle. Visit your local County Clerk's office with the family member who’s receiving the vehicle. You, as the current owner, will need to fill out the back of the title, including the name and address of the recipient, the mileage, and the date of transfer. Make sure both parties sign and print their names in the appropriate sections on the back of the title. The family member will need to have this title, proof of residency, and identification to register the vehicle in their name. Remember, title and registration fees may apply.
