MD time to receive title (purchase, tags, paperwork, car)

[ryguy619]

Hello,

I bought a used car in MD a little over a month ago and am wondering how long it typically takes to get your title in the mail. I understand that the dealer has up to 30 days to submit the paperwork for tags & title, so I'm not expecting to receive the title until at least about 4 weeks from purchase. Is 6-8 weeks from purchase typical?

Thanks

If your original or duplicate title never made it to your address, you can submit a completed Certification of Non-Receipt of Original/Duplicate Title Certificate (Form VR-091) by mail to the Maryland MVA.

A title will be issued at no charge.

That's useful information but it doesn't answer the question. I was asking about timeframe to receive the title, not what to do if it doesn't arrive.
