Titles are printed for vehicles at no fee when the owner previously elected to not receive a printed title and and then requests a printed title.

To obtain a printed title:

  • Order online OR
  • Bring your current registration card and your driver's license or ID card to your local customer service center.

If your vehicle is free of liens, you will receive an original title for your vehicle.

NOTE: If a title has been printed for any reason after DMV has been requested to hold the title, subsequent requests for a printed title will be done as a replacement title or substitute title and the appropriate fee will be charged.
