Cancelling a Title

You can cancel a title and remove a plate from a vehicle, as allowed by state regulations. You cancel a title if it was entered by mistake and no previous title exists in the system. You void a title if it was entered by mistake and you want to reinstate the one that existed previously in the system. For more information, see Voiding a Title.

Caution: When you cancel a title, the title number and all ownership for the vehicle is cancelled. If the ownership on the title is correct and you just need to make a correction, issue a corrected title instead. For more information, see Correcting a Mistake on a Title.

To cancel a title

1. On the VRT menu, select Title Transactions > Cancel Title.

   The Cancel Title Prequalifier window appears.

2. Enter the vehicle identification number for the vehicle that you want to cancel. This can be the VIN, plate number, title number, or any other number associated with the vehicle.

   Hint: To cancel multiple titles at once, enter each vehicle identification number on a separate row. If you cancel multiple titles at once, the same cancellation date, reason, plate disposition, and SI release reason will apply to all selected titles.

   

3. Click Continue.

   The Cancel Title/Ownership window appears.

4. Under Cancel Date, enter the date of title cancellation.
5. Under Ownership Cancel Reason, click the reason for the cancellation.
6. Under Plate Disposition, click the status of the vehicle plate.
7. If the vehicle had a security interest assigned to it, under SI Release Reason, click the reason for the security interest release.
8. If the title was surrendered at the time of cancellation, in the line of the title, select the Surrendered check box.

   

9. Click Commit.

   The system generates an Image Cover Sheet for the ownership documents you collected for this transaction so that they can be scanned later into the system.

10. On the confirmation window, click Yes.

    The window closes and the titles are cancelled.
