Instant Title Service

In addition to the $15 title fee, there is an extra $5 fee for instant title service.  All owners must appear to sign the title application.  If an owner cannot appear, they may complete and sign an Appointment of Agent form designating another individual to sign on their behalf.

Every instant title application is unique, but all persons processing a title application must present a Michigan or out-of-state photo driver license or ID card.  Also, the vehicle identification number or hull identification number (for watercraft) is required for every instant title application.

Please check with our Information Center at 1-888-SOS-MICH  (1-888-767-6424) to make sure you have all the correct paperwork before traveling to an instant title branch office.
