What procedures are required for a lost vehicle title certificate?
2 Answers
Application form for replacement or renewal of motor vehicle driving license, identity proof of the vehicle owner and its copy. If the business is handled by an agent, the agent's identity proof and its copy should also be provided.
I just went through this last year when I lost my vehicle title. I rushed to the DMV with my original ID and vehicle registration, filled out a lost declaration form on-site, and submitted an application. The staff processed it pretty quickly, saying I might need to wait a few days for approval before getting the new title. Remember to make a copy of your ID in advance to save trouble. By the way, newspaper declarations are rarely required now, but local policies vary, so it's best to check to avoid a wasted trip. The title is a crucial document proving ownership, and failing to replace it promptly can cause issues when selling or getting a loan. I recommend taking a photo backup and storing it in the cloud. The whole process took about an hour and cost a small fee—not too difficult.
