Defined as: Correction that results in changes to the ownership information on the NJ MVC database, but does not advance a prefix (owner indicator) on the title.
|
| |
|
Stipulations:
|
- Incorrect ownership originating from MVC processing error may be corrected by a regular MVC agency by referencing the microfilmed documents on file.
- Incorrect ownership originating from the source documents can be corrected by Database Corrections only if the sale contract shows the correct owner and pre-dates the title issuance.
- Ownership correction is not to be confused with "Backing out an MCO," which is only done when no party has taken possession of a vehicle.
- In situations where the contract/bill-of-sale supports the information that has been processed by MVC, ownership changes will result in advances to the prefix.
- When two vehicles have been delivered to the correct owners, but the MCO's were switched in error, the paperwork for correction must be submitted simultaneously.
