    If you need your title immediately, instant title service is available at all Secretary of State offices. All vehicle owners listed on the title must appear in person for instant title service. You cannot appoint an agent to represent you for an instant title transaction.

  • While it is advisable to ensure that all information on a title is correct, especially names and any lienholders, if you do not immediately correct a title with your new address, no harm is done. Submitting a change of address to our department when you move will update your address on your driver’s license and voter registration but not on any titles issued in your name.
