If the department determines that an applicant for a certificate of title to a vehicle is not entitled thereto, it may refuse to issue the certificate, and in that event, unless the department reverses its decision or its decision is reversed by a court of competent jurisdiction, the applicant has no further right to apply for a certificate of title on the statements in the application. The department, for a like reason, after notice and hearing, may revoke the outstanding certificate of title. Said notice must be served in person or by registered or certified mail. An appeal must be taken in accordance with the provisions of chapter 28-32.
