Acceptable Way to Make Corrections To a Title Assignment

Lightly line through the incorrect information so that it is still visible. Legibly enter the correct information above the incorrect information. The processing clerk must see what was originally entered to make sure important information (i.e. An indication that the vehicle is salvage, a lien holder's name, etc.) has not been purposely covered up. Person(s) required to complete the title assignment must complete and sign a T-11 Affidavit of Correction. Attach the completed T-11 affidavit to the title since it must accompany the title when it is being submitted with an application for re-titling.

Errors in first assignment - Owner(s) shown on face of a title or manufacturer's statement of origin must complete and sign the T-11 Affidavit of Correction explaining the reason for the correction.
Errors in the second and subsequent assignments - Owners shown in the previous assignment must complete and sign the T-11 Affidavit of Correction explaining the reason for the correction.

When a T-11 Affidavit of Correction Cannot Be Used

Unacceptable Corrections : Incorrect lien or security interest holder shown

Solution: Obtain a lien or security interest release from the incorrectly recorded lien or security interest holder.

Unacceptable Corrections: Odometer reading

Solution: Obtain a completed T-107 Odometer Discrepancy Affidavit from the point the discrepancy first occurred up through the current owner(s). This may require the completion of more than one T-107 Odometer Discrepancy affidavit.

Unacceptable Corrections: Purchase or transfer date

Solution: Obtain a replacement title; pay a $10 title penalty fee or provide a copy of the front and back of the check between the seller and buyer verifying the correct purchase date. The processing clerk does not know if the alteration of the purchase date was made to avoid paying the $10 title penalty.
