A. If satisfactory proof of ownership is furnished to the director, the director may issue a certificate of title for a motor vehicle, trailer or semitrailer whether or not a certificate of title has ever been issued for that motor vehicle, trailer or semitrailer.

B. If the director determines that an applicant for a certificate of title to a motor vehicle, trailer or semitrailer is not entitled to a certificate of title, the director may refuse to issue a certificate of title or to register the vehicle.

The director shall serve a notice of refusal to issue a certificate of title or vehicle registration or a notice of revocation of a certificate of title or registration in person or by first class mail.  Within fifteen days after the date the notice is mailed or served, a person who is aggrieved by the refusal or revocation may request a hearing.
