MV-82TON

The NY DMV MV-82TON form, titled Application for Title, is a specialized document used primarily to apply for a New York State title certificate without simultaneously registering the vehicle. This form is essential for vehicle owners who need to establish legal proof of ownership, record a lien, or replace a lost, stolen, or damaged title for 1973 or newer model year vehicles. It requires detailed information including the owner’s name, address, and social security or tax identification number, as well as comprehensive vehicle data such as the Vehicle Identification Number (VIN), make, year, body type, and current odometer reading.

The application also serves as a critical tool for disclosing specific vehicle histories, requiring owners to certify if the vehicle has been wrecked or destroyed to the extent of being "Rebuilt Salvage" or if it has been modified to increase seating capacity, such as a limousine. If a lien is being recorded, the form must include the lienholder's information to ensure they are listed on the issued certificate. Applicants must submit the completed form along with original proof of ownership, proof of identity, and the appropriate title fee to a DMV office or by mail.
