the steps you'll need to take to replace
a lost car title depend on whether the
title is currently in your name if you
own the car outright meaning the title
is in your name only you'll have to find
alternative proof of ownership and your
vehicle identification number or vin
examples of proof of ownership include a
past loan statement or a bill of sale if
you can couple it with another form of
proof show this documentation to the dmv
and you'll be issued a replacement title
if you know your title was stolen call
the police to report the theft then
apply for a new title with the dmv using
the steps just discussed once you're
issued a new title the old one will be
void meaning the thief won't be able to
do anything with it if you have an
outstanding loan on your car meaning the
title is currently in your lien holder's
name go right to the lender they'll have
to submit an application for duplicate
title and pay the requisite fees
themselves if you're in the process of
buying a car from a seller who lost
their title you won't be able to
complete your title transfer until they
apply for and receive a replacement if
the seller isn't willing to do this you
may consider getting a court order to
have a judge award the card to you
depending on the state where you live
you'll have to fill out different
paperwork to apply for a replacement or
duplicate title in most cases you can
complete the application in person or by
mail now sit tight and wait for your new
title to arrive by mail for more
