Transferring of Tags in Mississippi

Each tag in Mississippi is registered under an owner and a vehicle. A tag that is no longer valid can only be surrendered to a county tax collector. A transfer is not allowed.

Titling Requirements and Procedure in Mississippi

Vehicle titling in the state falls under the jurisdiction of the Department of Revenue, which governs Mississippi’s county tax collector’s offices, the entities authorized in processing title applications in the state. If a vehicle owner wishes to drive for longer periods of time, the vehicle is generally required to be titled. However, this requirement does not extend to vehicles made in 1969 or earlier.

If the vehicle did not originate from Mississippi, the owner must provide its out-of-state title, the current mileage and the registration receipt. In the absence of the stated requirements, a Manufacturer’s Statement of Origin may be given if it were not titled before. Prepare your payment for the fees associated with titling. For vehicles that are leased or with liens, the DMV titling office may demand additional documents for authentication.

If the applicants can fulfill the requirements, they may request a replacement for their missing or damaged titles. Once the DMV office accepts your request, the title will be delivered to you within two weeks’ time. The applicant may also pay extra fees to speed up the title’s delivery. It can reduce the delivery time to no more than three days. This choice is recommended for applicants who are in a hurry to get the titling done.

If you have other questions concerning the state’s policies about vehicle titles, read the Title Frequently Asked Questions page. You may also visit the Title Forms page if you want to access vehicle title-related forms in the state.
