How to Clear Error O212 for Out-of-State Titles

Error O212 typically arises when processing transactions related to out-of-state titles. This guide will help you understand the steps needed to resolve this error effectively.

Step 1: Process as a Non-Resident

To clear error O212, it's essential to process the transaction as a non-resident. This is necessary due to the nature of an out-of-state title. Ensure that all relevant documentation reflects this status.

Step 2: Address Refunds

If there is a refund due in conjunction with this case, it’s crucial to include it in your submission for clearance. Properly addressing refunds will facilitate smoother processing and resolution of the issue.

Step 3: Drafting a Statement of Facts

Create a detailed statement of facts that outlines your situation clearly:

  • Description of Issue: Explain why you are encountering error O212.
  • Request for Completion: Clearly request the completion of the non-resident transaction on behalf of your buyer.
  • Add Supporting Information: Include any additional details that may support your case or expedite processing.

Step 4: Include Registration Details (if applicable)

If there is already a year’s registration on file, consider including a $15 check along with your statement when submitting it. This can further assist in clearing up any outstanding issues related to registration fees or other charges associated with the title transfer.

Alternative Submission Method

If preferred, instead of going through the field office, you have another option available:

  • Create a work order and send it directly to SPU (Service Processing Unit). This method may streamline communication and reduce delays in resolving error O212.

Conclusion

Clearing error O212 requires careful attention to detail regarding non-resident transactions and refunds. By following these steps—processing correctly, drafting thorough statements, including necessary fees, and choosing appropriate submission methods—you can effectively resolve this issue for yourself or your buyer.
