Seems like a lot of red tape south of the border.
I recently purchase a Roadster in Alberta and brought it home to
Ontario. The car hadn't been on the road in who knows how long, and the
previous owner didn't have an ownership (title). The DMV did a VIN#
search in Alberta, nothing came up - they gave me a letter basically
saying that 'vehicle bearing VIN#--- has not been registered in the
province of Alberta for the past so many years'. This document became my
new ownership (title), which the Ontario DMV used to issue a new
ownership in my name. It took a phone call, 10 minutes and $20.00 - that
was it.

In California they have a request duplicate title/transfer owner form
all
in one. But as you said it requires finding the previous registered
owner. On Monday I went to the DMV with the seller and did just this,
and other than a $7 fee for duplicate title (which they'll never issue,
btw, it's pure gravy for the DMV) the car is transferred into my name.
