When you apply for a replacement title at a DMV office, we will NOT hand you a new title while you are there. We print all title certificates in a secure facility in Albany and mail them to the vehicle owner.
We can send you your replacement title by express mail. This will cost extra, and you will need to sign for the delivery. Express mail is not available between Friday at 8:30 pm and Sunday at 8:30 pm. Sending us an application by express mail will not decrease the time it takes to review your application or issue the replacement title.
Ordered | Printed | Mailed |
---|---|---|
Before 8 pm | Next business day | 2nd business day |
Monday - Thursday after 8 pm | 2 business days after ordered | 3rd business day |
Friday, Saturday or Sunday | Monday | Tuesday |
Examples:
A 'business day' is a weekday that is not a state holiday. If you order your title certificate during or before a weekend and/or a state holiday, the title certificate cannot be processed until the next business day after the weekend and/or state holiday.
An online transaction can only be cancelled on the same day it was ordered.
We mail your new title to the current address on your title record. If the registration for your vehicle is in your name, you can first change your address online [2] and then replace your title. If you have allowed someone else to register your vehicle, you cannot change the address on your title record online. Please contact the Title Services Bureau at 1-518-486-4714 to update the address on your title.
Note: If you file a request with the US Postal Service (USPS) to forward mail, there is no guarantee that the USPS will forward your DMV documents to the new address. Please make certain your contact information with the DMV is up to date.
