Date of liability for first licensing: This should refer to when the vehicle was first licensed, and normally corresponds to the year of manufacture.
But sometimes this is not the case and refers to when the vehicle was first logged on the Natis system. Date liable for registration: This is the date that you took ownership of the car. If you have delayed registering the car in your name after taking ownership, you will be liable for late penalty fees.
This date is usually determined by the date on the settlement letter, on the notification of change of ownership or the receipt from the seller. Last license: This section will list the last 3 license numbers the ones on the number plates that were recorded on the system for the vehicle. This form may or not record the latest license number if the vehicle was issued with a new number at the time you bought the car. It depends on whether you licensed the vehicle at the same time as you bought the car.
Title Holder : This is important to note! The titleholder is the legal owner of the vehicle. In the case of a financed vehicle, the finance house lender is the legal owner or title holder, until you have paid off the car.

Control number: This is an internal Natis number, which identifies the specific document, as to when and where it was issued.

A vehicle registration certificate is something you should carry whenever you are driving.
You never know when you're going to get pulled over by the law enforcement and they'll ask to see it. To register a vehicle with your state's Department of Motor Vehicles DMV you must show proof of ownership and thus your name must be on the title of the vehicle. If your name is not on the title the DMV would question your right to register a vehicle. For example in New York State if you are registering a vehicle you bought from a private party you need to show the DMV acceptable proof of ownership with a title certificate and a bill of sale.
You then would not only register the car but be applying for a title in your name since when you buy a car the title is signed over to you, the buyer. Normally to place a car on your car insurance policy you do need to show proof of insurable interest.
This usually means to an insurer that you have some ownership of the car. This means in your situation you may need to have your name added as a co-owner of the car to be able to place it on your insurance policy.
It really depends upon the guidelines of your insurance provider. Some allow parents to insure their child's car on their policy without being on the title while others will not if you are not listed as a co-owner of the car. It will also depend on details, like does your son live with you or on his own. If on his own, then it is doubtful he could be placed on your policy. State laws differ regarding this but basically when registering a vehicle and the names are joined by the word "or," one owner can sell the vehicle without the other's signature or consent.
So if you do get your name added to the title keep this in mind so you can determine how your name should be added. In most states even if you are listed as a co-owner on the car your child could register the car themselves in their own name. You also would need to check into your state laws on what proof of insurance is needed to register the car.
In some states, the insurance just has to be on the vehicle and does not necessarily have to be in the car owner's name. In other states, the car owner's name must be on the proof of insurance. For example in Texas, where you register your vehicle with the County Tax Assessor, they state that the car proof of insurance shown must be in the owner's name for the vehicle to be registered.
