- PRINTING and SIGNING your name in the correct field of the “ASSIGNMENT OF TITLE” box on the BACK of the title, and
- make sure it’s EXACTLY as it appears printed at the top of the title.
Missing your vehicle title? You can obtain a duplicate online from the Maryland Motor Vehicle Administration. You can apply for title replacement on the Maryland Secretary of State’s website using Form VR-018.

On the day of your scheduled vehicle pickup, you’ll have to give the tow driver the completed vehicle title along with the car keys. After your vehicle is sold, you'll receive a vehicle donation receipt for tax purposes.
