Special situation
Correct a vehicle title in New Jersey
Use this path when a New Jersey title contains the wrong owner information or another clerical error and MVC must correct the record.
What to gather first
- evidence of the clerical error on the title
- name-change documents such as marriage, civil union, or divorce records when applicable
- current New Jersey title
- title correction or reissue fee when MVC requires one
Likely next steps
- Use the MVC correction path before treating the title like a standard transfer or renewal issue.
- Gather the current title and the supporting identity or court documents that prove the correction.
- Follow MVC's title-correction instructions for fees, endorsements, and whether a replacement title is issued.
