In WA it's the same, though it works for other state titles as well.
The Frankenheap was a CA car, and the DMV had a CA address as last
owner of record.  One registered letter bounce later and the car was
mine.  Also, WA will grant a license even if you don't have a title.
(Extremely common.  Read: payments.)
