If your title contains incorrect information, you need to request that your title be 'corrected.' The Real ID Act requires that all Personal Identifying Information (PII) must be placed on the actual Driver License, Identification Card or Permit. Therefore, any name changes must be done through the Driver License System (DLS) prior to document changes. Once the DLS system is updated, a corrected title may be applied for. An Application for Corrected Title Due to a Name Change, form VR-448 will need to be completed. [links]

May someone other than the vehicle owner obtain a duplicate certificate of title?
If your original or duplicate title was processed and returned to the Administration, you may submit a completed Certification of Non-Receipt of Original/Duplicate Title Certificate form (VR-091) by mail to the MVA. A title will be issued at no charge. If your title was not returned to the Administration and your request for a title was made within the last 90 days, you may submit the Certification of Non-Receipt of Original/Duplicate Title Certificate for review by supervision. A charge may apply. Requests made after 90 days will require you to apply for a duplicate title and pay the $20.00 fee. [links]

If a lien is placed against your title, a Maryland Security Interest Filing will be mailed to the lien holder at the same time. more

You can lose something important from time to time, whether it's your keys or an important document, such as a boat title. Replacing the recreational vehicle title is a fairly simple process. All you need are a few pieces of pertinent information, such as your boat registration.
Complete the application and visit your local county tax collector's office. According to the DMV website, if there was a lien on the boat, you'll need to provide proof that the lien has been paid off. [links]
Turn in your application and pay for the replacement. The replacement fee is usually no more than $10, but fees vary state-to-state. Make sure to get a receipt and keep it some place safe until you receive your title. Titles typically take anywhere from eight to 10 weeks to come in the mail. However, some states expedite the service and you may be able to get your title much sooner. [links]
