Summit County Title Division Offers Something for Everyone

The Summit County Clerk’s Title Division is responsible for issuing certificates of title for watercraft and motor vehicle owners. This includes automo-biles, motorcycles, manufactured homes, boats, boat motors, all-terrain vehicles (ATV’s), off-highway motorcycles, wave runners and jet skis.

Similar to the deed for real estate property, a title shows proof of ownership. Each new owner of a vehicle must obtain a title in their name.

In addition to original certificates of title, the Title Division issues duplicate titles, title transfers from out-of-state vehicles or watercraft and memorandum titles.

With offices in Akron, North-field Village, Green and Fair-lawn, we conveniently assist customers throughout Summit County.

The South Branch office in Green serves as a Limited Authority Deputy Registrar (LADR). An LADR can issue a

30 day temporary tag, issue or transfer license plates if the title is being transferred on the same day and perform Out of State Inspections.

When travel plans include an international destination, Sum-mit County Title Division serves as your local passport acceptance facility. In this capacity, we act on behalf of the U.S. Department of State to accept and execute passport applications.

Do you need a dog license? If so, they are available for pur-chase at our South Branch office, as well as our West Branch office in Fairlawn.

PASSPORT

A new Ohio Certificate of Title for motor vehicles and watercrafts was implemented at all Summit County Clerk of Courts Title Division offices in 2019.

The title rollout was in collaboration with the Ohio Department of Public Safety (DPS). The DPS distributed titles to all Ohio county clerks of court in phases. Each county began issuing the title to its customers on the date assigned to it by the DPS. The Summit County Clerk of Courts launch date was March 25, 2019.

The major differences between the previous and new title are the changes in color, size and layout. These modifications were made to support added security features as well as new content fields designed to provide more clarity for the title holder.

There has been no change in the process our office uses to issue motor vehicle titles.

You are not required to replace previously issued, valid titles, with the new version.

State of Ohio Releases New Certificate of Title

I can’t find my title.

What should I do?

If your original title is lost or destroyed you may obtain a duplicate certificate of title. You can apply for a duplicate title in any county. You will need to complete an application for certificate of title to a motor vehicle as well as provide your current vehicle registration and proper ID. There is a fee of $15 for the duplicate title. If, after issuance of the duplicate, the original is recovered, the original must be returned to our office for cancellation.
