Most often, you automatically apply for a when you first register your motor vehicle or motorboat. Use the form Vehicle Registration/Title Application (MV-82), available at any motor vehicle office, by request from a DMV Call Center or by download from the DMV internet site.
Would you like to know how long the application process takes?
Sure, go ahead.
The title application process may take several weeks to complete.
Which vehicles need a title?
New York State issues a Certificate of Title MV-999 for most motor vehicles of model year 1973 or newer, and motorboats, model year 1987 or newer, that are 14 feet or longer, among others.
What if both my registration and the title are wrong?
Then you should bring them to a motor vehicle office.
Alright. What if my purchase does not qualify for a title certificate?
Then the ownership proof is a transferable registration signed over to you.
Sounds good. And if I use an older version of the title?
