Registered owner is just the person who is responsible for the vehicle. Legal owner is the person that can prove they've purchased the vehicle.

There is no official paperwork to denote the legal owner (just as there is no legal paperwork to denote the legal owner of your toaster).

The registered owner is what you use a change of ownership form for.

^^ reciept of purchase is only thing that denotesthe legal owner, registered owner just means your the 1 the parking fines are sent to,rego papers are not legal title to the vehicle .
