<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Note<\/span> A change in business entity or structure is <\/strong>a transfer, not <\/strong>a name change. Use tax or a Certificate Vehicle, Mobile home, or Commercial Coach of Use Tax Clearance (CDTFA-111) from the California Department Tax and Fee Administration (CDTFA) and smog certification may<\/strong> be required if the business structure changes. Example<\/strong>: The addition or loss of a partner, change from a partnership to a corporation, or merger of two or more corporations are business structure changes.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n
A replacement title fee and\/or renewal, if applicable. No fee is due solely for a name change.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
The procedure below must be followed:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
\n
The application must be processed as a clearing transaction, unless special handling by DMV headquarters is required.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
Correction of Name\u2014The following must be submitted:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
\n
The California Certificate of Title or an Application for Replacement or Transfer of Title (REG 227) form.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
The Name Statement portion of the Statement of Facts (REG 256) form.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
Duplicate title and\/or renewal fees, if applicable. No fee is due solely for a name correction.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
The procedure below must be followed:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
\n
The name must be determined that it is actually incorrect. Some names cannot <\/strong>be printed on the certificates exactly as written or shown on an application because DMV\u2019s Automated Name Index (ANI) would not recognize the name correctly in its divided\/hyphenated state. In such cases, the name is correct<\/strong> as shown and it is important to explain this to the owner.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
Example<\/strong>: Divided or hyphenated surnames, such as De La Cruz or White-Smith, would appear on the certificates as DELACRUZ or WHITESMITH. This does not<\/strong> apply to separated business or company names.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\n
The incorrect name on the front of the title must be lined through.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
The correct spelling of the name must be clearly printed above the incorrect name.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
No entries on the reverse side of the title must be made.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
Must be processed as a clearing item, unless special handling by DMV headquarters is required.<\/li>\n<\/ul>","protected":false},"featured_media":0,"parent":14815,"menu_order":7,"template":"","dmv_task":[11],"dmv_functional_page_type":[64],"dmv_handbook_category":[595],"class_list":["post-14839","dmv_handbook","type-dmv_handbook","status-publish","hentry","dmv_task-educational","dmv_functional_page_type-informational","dmv_handbook_category-vehicle-industry-reg-procedures-manual"],"featured_image_src":null,"yoast_head":"\n22.030 Change or Correction of Registered Owner Name (VC \u00a7\u00a74150 and 4453) - California DMV<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/www.dmv.ca.gov\/portal\/es\/handbook\/vehicle-industry-registration-procedures-manual-2\/corrections-and-adjustments\/change-or-correction-of-registered-owner-name\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"es_MX\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"22.030 Change or Correction of Registered Owner Name (VC \u00a7\u00a74150 and 4453) - California DMV\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"The registered owner\u2019s true full name must be shown on the California Certificate of Title and\/or registration card.
