How to Apply for a Duplicate Vehicle Title

If you find yourself in need of a duplicate vehicle title, this guide will help you understand the process and eligibility requirements.

What is a Duplicate Title?

A duplicate title (DUP title) is an official document that allows vehicle owners to obtain a new copy of their original title. This may be necessary if the original has been lost, stolen, or damaged.

Eligibility Criteria

• Year Restrictions: You cannot apply for a duplicate title using a lien release for any year older than 2021. Titles from years 2020 and earlier are not eligible for this process.
• No Lien Holder Requirement: If your vehicle is from the year 2023 or newer, you can apply for a duplicate title without needing to involve any lien holder.

Troubleshooting Common Issues

If you're encountering issues while trying to apply for your DUP title, it could be due to discrepancies in the KSR record. Here’s how to address these problems:

1. Error Notification: If you receive an error message during your application process indicating that there’s something wrong with the KSR record, don’t panic.
2. Contact Support: It may be necessary to resolve these discrepancies through our SPU unit or visit your local DMV field office directly.
3. Add Information as Needed: Ensure all required information is accurate and complete before resubmitting your request.

Bundled Applications

Please note that applying for multiple vehicles at once (bundles) typically does not fall under the standard procedure of obtaining individual DUP titles. Each application must generally be processed separately unless specified otherwise by state regulations.
