1. How can I get a duplicate title?
An application for a duplicate certificate of title may be filed through the Title and Registration Division either in person or by mail. Office hours for this service are 8 a.m.-3:30 p.m. When filing in person, you must furnish proof of identity, such as a driver license or photo identification card. If someone other than the owner of the vehicle files, they must show proof of identification and have a notarized power of attorney from the owner. If filing by mail, the Certification for Duplicate Certificate of Title, Form SF-0964, must be completed in its entirety and forwarded to our office with the fee of $5 and any discharge of lien if applicable. This form is available at county clerk offices or a written request for the form can be sent to Title and Registration Division, 44 Vantage Way, Suite 160, Nashville, TN 37243-8050.
2. How do I notify Title and Registration if my address changes?
To change your address, furnish the Title and Registration Division with the new address along with a complete description of the vehicle (make, year, vehicle identification number and license plate number); contact us by fax at (615) 253-4259; or notify us by email. Click here for instructions on how to notify the Department of Safety by email about a change of address. You may also obtain an address change form from your local post office or your local county clerk.
*Note that you must list all of your vehicles and that only the address associated with your vehicle(s) will be changed, not that address associated with a driver license or other records.

No. Trailers used for the transportation of boats are exempt from both title and registration. You must, however, contact the Tennessee Wildlife Resources Division at (615) 781-6522, relative to the registration of your boat.
4. How may I obtain a corrected Certificate of Title?
If after receiving a Tennessee Certificate of Title, the owner or lienholder discovers an error on the title, circle the incorrect information in red and write the correct information in red near the incorrect information. If the error was ours, we will issue a new corrected title at no charge. To verify our records, contact our Division at (615) 741-3101.
