How to Correct a Name on a Vehicle Title
If you need to correct the name on your vehicle title, follow these steps to ensure a smooth process.
Gather Necessary Documentation
Before starting the correction process, make sure you have all required documents from Toyota:
- Lien Release: If Toyota provided a lien release related to Line 2 of the title, this document will facilitate a Legal Owner Transfer under the Vehicle Services tab.
- Name Statement: Request a Name Statement from Toyota confirming that their name was misspelled. This is essential for correcting the registered owner section of the title.
Correcting Registered Owner Information
If you're authorized to sign on behalf of Toyota, you can complete this step yourself. Here’s how:
- Request Documentation: Obtain both the lien release and Name Statement from Toyota.
- Edit Title Sections: You’ll need to address issues in both sections of the title where errors exist.
If There Is A Legal Owner (Paperless Titles)
If there is a legal owner and it is paperless, submit Form Reg 227 (Sections 1, 2, and 3) along with your statement of facts for correction. This may be sent directly to SPU with an accompanying work order.
Submission Process
You can submit all required documents through your local vehicle services office or via an online portal if available. Ensure that everything is clearly filled out and attached before submission.
No Additional Action Needed?
If everything appears clear after reviewing your documentation, then no additional action should be necessary. However, always double-check for any discrepancies prior to final submission!
Troubleshooting Common Issues
- If you're facing delays in receiving documentation from Toyota or processing at your local office—follow up promptly!
- If further corrections are needed post-submission—be prepared with additional proof or statements as requested by authorities.
