How do I make a correction or name change to an existing auto title in NY? New York
Name Change on Auto Title
If you've changed your name due to marriage, divorce, or even artistic expression and want your title to reflect this, the process is easy. You'll need to visit any New York DMV office with the following:- A completed Vehicle Registration/Title Application (Form MV-82). You can download this from the NY DMV's Web site.
- Your NYSDMV photo document or some other proof of identity that shows your previous name and has an identification value of at least six points.
- A marriage certificate, divorce documents, or other U.S. court papers that prove your name change. Or, if you prefer, bring proof of identity that shows your new name and has an identification value of a least six points.
- Your title certificate that displays your former name.
There is no amended title fee. Your new car title, reflecting your name change, will arrive in the mail.
Updated titles are important. Especially if you just sold your vehicle and are in the process of a title transfer. Before handing over your title to the buyer, be sure to make copies of all documents, including the title and the bill of sale.
