This is what it says on my title:
"Note: The submission of this form, accurately completed, to a tax collector's office, license plate agency or to the address above will allow the title clerk to update the DMV database to reflect the title record as "sold". However, the ownership status will not change until the purchaser applies for and is issued a certificate of title."
So, you can do what you said, but unless the purchaser comes with you, the ownership status will still list you as the vehicle owner. If the purchaser comes with you, you really don't need a paper title because the clerk can use the electronic title to record the sale. My issue is that the purchaser can sign the title, take the vehicle, and never apply for a new title.
