If you didn't automatically apply when you first registered your truck, you can use the form Vehicle Registration/Title Application to get a title.
Have you filled out and submitted this form yet?
Yes, I have.
Due to NY State laws, it could take several weeks for the title application process to complete.
OK thanks. I'd also want to find out about the Vehicle Registration/Title Application, can I transfer my plates to another vehicle?
Yes you are able to do that.
Are you familiar with Certificate of Title MV-999? That's not a positive sign. What value does a title have?
If you decided to sell your truck down the road, having a title allows you to transfer ownership of that vehicle to another person.
Can I change the address on my title record online?
No. It is not possible. To update this, you need to contact Title Services Bureau at 1 - 518 - 486 - 4714.
Another point to consider when duplicating a vehicle title. In the event that I misplaced the original, how would I obtain a duplicate title?
You can apply for a duplicate title online or at any DMV office.
What do I do if I go to DMV to get one?
You'll need to complete and submit an Application for Duplicate Certificate Of Title, provide proof of identity, and proof of address. The duplicate title is normally processed in 72 hours and will be mailed to you for a $20 fee.
Can I apply for a title at DMV?
