Yes, if you are buying it outright. As in a cash sale from an individual, A car lot may not have the title on hand if they purchased the car recently and have sent it to the state for reassignment. Be very careful we buying and only getting a bill of sale.

How do you apply for a title if a title was never issued?

If a title was never issued, how did you get the car? Every vehicle starts out with a manufacturer's certificate that can be traced. It should be possible to trace the first sale of that vehicle. If it was a legal sale and that owner never got a title and sold you the car, you should be able to contact the appropriate governmental entity and get a title. Normally when you purchase a car that has been a lease and never had a title issued, the seller has all the legal documents that you need to get the title. Frequently, you paid a fee for the seller to get you the title.
