How to Find Your New Jersey Title Number

If you need to locate your title number for a vehicle in New Jersey, follow the steps outlined below. The title number is essential for various vehicle-related processes, including registration and transfer of ownership.

Locating Your Title Number

Your New Jersey title number can be found at the bottom right corner of your vehicle title document. It typically consists of a 17-digit sequence that includes:

• A 2-letter agency identification code
• A Julian date
• A sequence number

For example, if your title displays "NN20081851234," the complete title number would be formatted as "NN200818500001234" by adding four zeros before the sequence part.

Steps to Retrieve Title Information Online

1. Obtain the out-of-state title and locate the Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) on it.
2. Visit the official website of the New Jersey Motor Vehicle Commission (MVC).
3. Find their “Title Inquiry” or “Vehicle Title Search” function on their site.
4. Enter your VIN into the designated field and submit your search.

Troubleshooting E-Filing Errors

If you encounter an e-filing error during your New Jersey title transfer, it may be due to having two smog certifications recorded for your vehicle. The DMV system cannot determine which certification to utilize, leading to this issue. To resolve this:

• Email or send necessary documents and information to either the Special Processing Unit (SPU) or Field Office.
• The office will then post any required fees on your behalf.
