Special situation
Correct a title record in New York
Use this path when the New York title or registration record has the wrong owner, name, address, or vehicle detail and needs a formal correction.
What to gather first
- updated MV-82 form when NY DMV requires a title or registration correction filing
- proof of identity
- supporting name-change or correction documents
- no-fee correction eligibility when the issue fits NY DMV's correction rules
Likely next steps
- Identify the exact record error and gather the documents that prove the correction before filing with New York DMV.
- Use the correction workflow instead of assuming a renewal or transfer will fix the title record.
- Expect the corrected title to be mailed after New York processes the request.
