Default Car title -- paper or electronic?

When buying a new car in Florida, the final price generally includes registration and title. I just learned the title is kept electronically by the Florida DMV even after the car is paid off.

Do people normally request a paper copy of the title? Without that, how can the owner prove ownership? Or is proof of ownership not required except when selling it, in which case the transaction goes electronically through the DMV?
