THIS IS WHAT YOU NEED TO APPLY FOR A CERTIFICATE OF TITLE.

1.APPLICATION (FORM MV-82TON) - After completing appropriate sections as outlined on top of page 1, please make sure you sign the owner certification in Section 6 and the dealer signs Section 7or 8, if applicable.

2.PROOF OF OWNERSHIP - If purchased new, the proof of ownership is a Manufacturer’s Statement or Certificate of Origin. If purchased used, the

proof of ownership is usually a certificate of title (or a transferable registration and bill of sale if from a state that does not require a title). For vehicles, motorcycles, and trailers sold by a New York State dealer, a Certificate of Sale (form MV-50) is also required. For boats sold by a dealer, a bill of sale from the dealer must accompany the proof of ownership. If you have other proof of ownership, please contact the Title Bureau to find out if it is acceptable.

3.PROOF OF NAME AND DATE OF BIRTH - Only proofs of name that contain the owner’s signature will be accepted. For example: a copy of a photo driver license, a military photo ID card, or a credit card. Proof of date of birth is a copy of a photo driver license, a birth certificate, or military separation papers (DD-214). A corporation must provide proof of incorporation.

4.SALES TAX CLEARANCE - Proof that you paid or are exempt from paying sales tax is needed. The following are acceptable proofs of sales tax clearance:

Form MV-50 (Certificate of Sale) - for vehicles, motorcycles, and trailers purchased from a New York State-registered dealer.

Form FS-6T (Sales Tax Clearance Receipt) - for vehicles, motorcycles, trailers and boats purchased from an out-of-state dealer, or through a sale that does not involve a dealer. Form FS-6T may be obtained at any Motor Vehicles office by paying sales tax or by showing that you are tax exempt.

A bill of sale - for boats purchased from a New York State-registered boat dealer. The bill of sale must indicate that tax was paid, or that the purchaser is exempt from sales tax.

The Manufactured Home Dealer Certification below must be completed by the dealer. PLEASE NOTE: Sales tax clearance is only required for manufactured homes purchased as NEW.

5.FILING LIENS - Section 4 on page 1 can only be used by a NYS-registered dealer to file a new lien. All other liens must be recorded by the

lender sending a Notice of Lien (form MV-900) and $5 lien fee OR form MV-900.1 (if they have an account with the Department of Motor Vehicles). To be sure the lien is recorded before the title is issued, the lender should send the Notice of Lien with this application, OR as soon as possible after the loan
