11.060 Errors/Erasures on the Certificate of Title

A Statement of Error or Erasure (REG 101) form is required for any erasure and/or lined out information on the California Certificate of Title. For example, if an individual’s signature appears on the title in error and is lined out, a REG 101 must be completed by that individual explaining the error.

A REG 101 is not required if the name of the current registered owner or new purchaser is printed or signed on the dealer endorsement line.

Dealers and financial institutions may certify to errors in signatures, including their own, made on the California Certificate of Title by a representative of the dealer or financial institution. For errors made by other than a dealer or financial institution, the REG 101 must be completed and signed by the individual whose signature appears on the title in error.

Exception: When a printed name or address is lined out, the individual who made the entry in error may complete the REG 101.
