Handling Mistakes on a Vehicle Title Mistakes on vehicle titles can happen easily, especially when information is written in the wrong space. Because titles are official documents, corrections should be handled carefully. Here are some general considerations often shared by experienced Notary in this group Avoid Crossing Out Information Crossing out or striking through information on a vehicle title can sometimes cause the title to be rejected by the title office. Leave the Mistake as It Is If something is written in the wrong place (such as an address or date), it may be best to leave the entry as it is. Write the Information in the Correct Space The signer can simply write the correct information in the proper field. Title clerks commonly see small mistakes like this. The Signer Makes Corrections Any corrections or additional writing must be made by the signer. Notaries do not alter or correct vehicle titles. When in Doubt, Contact the Title Office If the mistake appears significant or unclear, contacting the local title office for guidance is usually the safest option.
