Corrected titles are issued in some states because of a change in the name of an owner, for reasons such as marriage or divorce. When this takes place, relevant documentation, such as a marriage license or divorce decree, must be submitted with the relevant application form to a state department of motor vehicles.

What is a corrected title mean?

Corrected title is defined differently depending on the state. In some states, a corrected title will be issued for removing or adding an owner's name due to divorce, death or marriage. In other states, details about the vehicle, such as incorrect odometer readings, can result in a corrected title being issued.
