Can I change the name on my vehicle title, and what is the process?

Asked 3 months ago
Yes, it is possible to change the name on a vehicle title in Idaho. The process generally involves several key steps. First, an individual must complete the appropriate application form for a title transfer or name change. This form can usually be obtained from the Idaho Division of Motor Vehicles website or at their local office. Next, the individual will need to provide the current title of the vehicle. If the vehicle is financed, it may be necessary to obtain a lien release from the lending institution before proceeding with the name change. Once the form is completed and all necessary documents are gathered, the individual should submit them to the Idaho Division of Motor Vehicles, along with the required fee for processing the title change. The processing fee can vary, so it is advisable to check the current fee schedule on the official website. After the application is submitted, individuals can typically expect to receive the updated title reflecting the name change in the mail within a few weeks. It is important to ensure that all information provided is accurate and complete to avoid processing delays. For specific details, including forms and fee amounts, visiting the relevant section of the Idaho Division of Motor Vehicles website is a good idea.
