Replace a Title

Lost or Stolen Title

If you lost your title, you may get a replacement. If there is a lien on your vehicle, a duplicate title will be sent to the lien holder.

Before purchasing a replacement title, please verify your address on file. If changes need to be made, you can update them here. Please note, any changes or additions to your address will prompt a mailer to be sent to your previous address on file.
