New Jersey requires that title transfers be done in person, at your local MVC office.

New Jersey has a 60-day window for new residents to register their car titles. Make an appointment at your local MVC Center and bring your out-of-state title, proof of New Jersey insurance, a Universal Title Application, and a Vehicle Registration Application (Form BA-49). You will also need your photo ID and the $60 standard title fee ($85 if your vehicle is currently being financed). There may also be some additional registration fees depending on the vehicle specifics.
Submit your Universal Title Application to your local MVC location, either in person or by mail, along with the $60 fee and proof of your vehicle’s registration. If you are currently paying off a car loan, then you will need to go through your lender to replace your lost car title.
You will need to use the Universal Title Application–submit this to the MVC, either in person or via mail. New Jersey charges a $60 fee, and will require proof of ownership. If you go in person, you will likely receive your replacement car title same-day. Otherwise, expect a 6-8 week turnaround time.
You will need several key pieces of information, including the death certificate, the vehicle’s title, and an Affidavit of Next of Kin. The affidavit needs to be notarized. All documents need to be taken to your local MVC agency. If you are the beneficiary named on a Transfer on Death form, you can bypass probate. New Jersey charged $60 for this title transfer. If you need help, don’t hesitate to reach out to our team.
Fill out a Universal Title Application and either mail it to the MVC, or submit it in person, along with the $60 fee, proof of your registration, and proof of New Jersey insurance. You will receive your replacement title the same day if you go in person. Otherwise, you will receive your replacement in 6-8 weeks by mail.

Once you pay off your car loan, your lender either needs to provide a lien release document or sign and return the original paper title. Once you receive either document from your lender, you will need to visit your local MVC. Take your vehicle registration, proof of insurance, and a bill of sale. You can also complete this process by mail. If you are having trouble reaching your lender, contact our team for assistance.
