1997 Minnesota Statutes

     508.40 Owner's duplicate receipt.  

    At the time the original certificate of title is entered, 
 the registrar shall make a duplicate thereof, endorsing across 
 the face of such duplicate the words "Owner's Duplicate 
 Certificate" and deliver the same to the owner or an authorized 
 attorney.  The registrar shall, in every case, when it is 
 practicable so to do, take from such owner a receipt for such 
 duplicate certificate, which shall be signed by the owner in 
 person.  In the case of multiple owners the receipt may be 
 executed by any one of such owners.  Such receipt, when signed 
 and delivered in the office of the registrar, shall be witnessed 
 by the registrar or the registrar's deputy.  If such receipt is 
 signed elsewhere, it shall be acknowledged in the same manner as 
 a deed.  Such receipt shall be prima facie evidence of the 
 genuineness of such signature.
