Changing Ownership through Registration View/Maintenance

Changing ownership through Registration View/Maintenance is used to add or delete a second owner. This is commonly used to add a trust to a vehicle that is currently registered and the owner wants to just add the trust as a second owner. There are no State fees involved unless you have to create a title application for the vehicle, however, you may elect to charge the municipal agent fee. Note, Registration View/Maintenance should never be used to change the first owner.

 

In order to process an ownership change through Registration View/Maintenance, the following criteria must be met:

 

• The customer is not changing vehicles
• The customer wants to delete/add a second owner
• A new title must be generated for a vehicle requiring a title

 

If a title is required, you must complete the title process first and then go to Registration View/Maintenance to update the registration. Once the registration is updated, DMV requires a certified copy be processed for the updated registration.
