(A) Every owner of a vehicle subject to registration and for which a license is required shall make application to the department for the registration and licensing of the vehicle upon the appropriate forms furnished by the department. Every application must bear the signature of the owner.

(B) Notwithstanding the provisions of subsection (A), the seller of a vehicle subject to the provisions of this section, upon completion of the sale, shall make application to the department for registration and licensure of the vehicle in the name of the new owner."
