Title: Concerning Experience at Essex Location July 22 2026
I initially contacted the Fells Point Tag & Title office to obtain tags for my used vehicle. I was informed that there was a location in Essex that was closer to me, so I decided to go there instead.
I arrived with all of the required documents, including my Maryland inspection certificate, clean title, driver's license, bill of sale, proof of insurance, and the vehicle itself.
I was assisted by Jay Fuentes. After reviewing my paperwork, he began asking several additional questions that didn't seem relevant to my transaction. What concerned me most was that he started taking pictures of my personal documents with his personal cell phone. I was not comfortable with that and immediately told him I no longer wanted to proceed.
I left the office, went to the parking lot, and contacted the main Fells Point office to express my concerns. Later that same day, I was able to complete my tag and title transaction at another local tag and title business without any issues.
This was my personal experience. If you choose to visit the Essex location, I recommend asking questions about how your personal information is being handled and proceeding only if you are comfortable with the process. I wish I could include in my cellphone log all the calls I made to other Tag & Title businesses before they closed. I spent so much time at this location that I was left scrambling to contact other businesses before they closed. read more
