N.D. Cent. Code § 57-40.3-06

No title or license registration may be issued by the director of the department of transportation for a motor vehicle purchased or acquired by way of gift from a husband or wife, parent or child, or from a brother or sister unless and until the applicant therefor attaches a properly executed motor vehicle purchaser's certificate to the application for title or license registration. If a license application is made for a motor vehicle that has been previously licensed in this state and the applicant for license is the same person in whose name the license registration had previously been issued, the motor vehicle purchaser's certificate need not be submitted to the director.
