Special situation
Correct a title record in Michigan
Use this path when the Michigan title has the wrong owner, lien, name, or vehicle detail and needs a formal correction before you rely on it.
What to gather first
- current title or title record details
- supporting documents that prove the correction
- title correction fee when Michigan charges for the correction
- lien release or lienholder documentation when the correction affects lien data
Likely next steps
- Identify the exact title error and gather the documents that prove the correction before scheduling the Secretary of State visit.
- Use Michigan's title-correction process rather than assuming a normal transfer or renewal will fix the record.
- Do not sell or transfer the vehicle against a Michigan title that still contains a material error.
