RULE NO.:RULE TITLE:

15C-21.001Application for Certificate of Title

PURPOSE AND EFFECT: The purpose of this rule amendment is to update applications for certificates of title by revising application requirements and information to be included in a certificate of title application. Because the proposed updates, necessitated by new federal and state requirements, render a single certificate of title application form impracticable, the rule amendment additionally proposes to separate the existing Form HSMV 82040, Application for Certificate of Title, into separate applications for (1) motor vehicles, (2) mobile homes, and (3) vessels. The effect will be to allow the agency to capture all information required by federal and state law when processing certificate of title requests for each type of application and to allow for sufficient space and improved readability of application forms.

SUBJECT AREA TO BE ADDRESSED: Applications for certificates of title with and without registration.
