Is my car title needed when trading it in for a new car?

I paid off my car almost 2 months ago. I received a letter from the bank, with a copy of my loan stamped %26quot;paid%26quot; and a note mentioning if my title was not included in this letter that it would be along shortly. I still havent received the title and would like to go shopping for a new car and trade the old one in. Is it possible to trade it in with out the title? I%26#039;ve heard sometimes dealers roll the trade-in%26#039;s loan with theirs when a person is buying a new car, but I am not sure about when there is no longer a bank on the title. I spoke with my bank and they said to call back monday afternoon, but I was hoping to go look at a car I wanted this weekend.

If you are in New York, the only State I%26#039;m sure about, you receive a title document when you originally purchase a car. The title says that there is a lien against the car. When the loan is paid off, you do not get a new title. You get a form from the lender saying the lien has been satisfied. That and the original encumbered title are all you need to sell it.
