Universal Title Application
When a Michigan resident buys a vehicle, he or she must title it in order to use it. An Application for Michigan Vehicle Title enables you to obtain a title. You must include your name and address, vehicle make, model and VIN number and the mileage. If a lienholder exists, the state will need to know that, too, to protect the lienholder’s interest in the property. You will have to pay a use tax as well as fees to obtain the title. You can mail in the title application or go to a Michigan SOS service center to obtain a new title.Affidavit of Surviving Spouse
When the owner of a vehicle dies and leaves title vehicles behind, a surviving spouse can file an Heir to a Vehicle form. That will help to transfer ownership to the surviving spouse.Renew/Replace DL – Out of State for an Extended Period
Whenever a Michigan resident temporarily is located out of state and needs to renew or replace his or her driver’s license, the state enables renewals online and replacements by filing an Out-of-State Resident Application for a duplicate driver’s license.Title and Register a Vehicle While Temporarily Located Out of State
