The notation shall be made whether or not the form submitted to the department contains all the information required by section 301.196, so long as there is sufficient information to identify the motor vehicle or trailer and the name and address of the transferee. Thereafter, until a new title is issued, when the department is asked or is required by law to provide the name of the owner or lienholder of a motor vehicle or trailer as shown on its records, the department shall provide the name of the owner or lienholder recorded on the latest title or lien perfection of record and indicate that department records show a notification of transfer but do not show a title transfer. The department shall also provide the name of the transferee, if otherwise permitted by law, if it is shown on the form submitted by the transferor pursuant to section 301.196.

2. If the department does not receive an application for title from the person named as transferee in a form submitted pursuant to section 301.196 within sixty days of the receipt of the form, the department shall notify the transferee to apply for title. Notification shall be made as soon after the sixtieth day after receipt of the form as is convenient for the department. The provisions of this subsection shall be in addition to the requirements of section 301.190.
