If you get to 2200 on your USCF online rating, will you receive a NM title?
No, online ratings don't provide the NM title. Only OTB regular rated play can
Ratings alone don't give you titles. Just like you don't just earn an M.D. because you have a lot of medical knowledge. You have to qualify for it and get granted that title.
Actually, for US Chess, getting a 2200 or higher OTB regular rating automatically provides the title. Nothing else needed.

Okay thanks

Oh, I stand corrected then. I guess the qualification thing is for GMs.
Yeah, I'm pretty sure the only FIDE titles that require norms (as well as rating mostly) are IM and GM.

Nope. Only IMs and GMs require norms.
FMs, CMs and NMs are automatic once you hit the rating threshold.

Well, CMs and FMs require the payment of the title fee as well, so it's not exactly automatic

youre mixing apples and oranges, @deranged. CMs, FMs, IMs and GMs are FIDE titles. NM are titles from national federations and requirements vary from one federation to another. As for FIDE, CM is the only title that is awarded based solely on rating. so...nope to you. you are wrong.

I'm aware that NM is a national title and the rest are all FIDE titles.
But I stand by my point that NM, CM and FM only require you to reach a rating threshold and do not require norms (CM and FM do require paying a fee though, as @Martin_Stahl pointed out, so they're not exactly "automatic" in that sense).
The requirements for each title are:
NM = 2200+ USCF rating
CM = 2200+ FIDE rating
FM = 2300+ FIDE rating
IM = 2400+ FIDE rating + 3 x IM norms
GM = 2500+ FIDE rating + 3 x GM norms
You don't need any norms for the FM title. You just need to hit 2300+ FIDE rating.
From the FIDE handbook (fees are not included here)
1.3 Titles may be gained by achieving a published or interim rating at some time or other (see 1.53a) having at that time played at least 30 rated games:
1.31 FIDE Master ≥2300
1.32 Candidate Master ≥2200
1.33 Women FIDE Master ≥2100
1.34 Women Candidate Master ≥2000
For GM, IM, WGM and WIM there are also norm requirements.
1.48
Performance Rating (Rp)
In order to achieve a norm, a player must perform at a level at least of that shown below:
title Min lvl after rounding
GM 2599.5 2600
IM 2449.5 2450
WGM 2399.5 2400
WIM 2249.5 2250
1.53
To have achieved at some time or other a rating as follows:
GM≥2500
IM≥2400
WGM ≥2300
WIM≥2200
Finally, FIDE does allow direct titles (that bypass norm requirements) for doing very well in certain significant tournaments.
Direct title (automatic title) is a title gained by achieving a certain place or result in a tournament. For example, winning, or achieving a result ≥50 percent in a tournament. On application by the player’s federation and confirmation by the Qualification Commission, such titles are awarded automatically by FIDE.
You can. According to http://www.glicko.net/ratings/titles.pdf, you can gain an online USCF title from online regular ratings. Online blitz ratings and online quick ratings are invalid.
If you get to 2200 on your USCF online rating, will you receive a NM title?
