You will also need to be prepared to pay the associated fees, which can include:

  • Replacement of a lost car title ($25)
  • Sales tax (percentage of the purchase price)

Lien Release Requirements

When the car loan has been paid in full, your lender will either send an electronic release document or a hard copy, to you or the Department of Motor Vehicles. Verify where your lender intends to send the documentation so you can follow up on its arrival. If your lender does not initiate this process for you, you can fill out Form H-6B to request it.

What should I do if I lose my car title in Connecticut?

You will need to apply for a duplicate or replacement title if you lose yours. Without it, you will not be able to sell, gift, or transfer the vehicle. You can do this on your own, or you can work with CarTitles.com to take this task off of your plate. We are experts at Connecticut’s car title requirements; we are happy to assist with your replacement car title needs.

What is the application process for a replacement car title in Connecticut?

Connecticut requires that you fill out the H-6B Application for Replacement Certificate of Title, which you can return via mail or in person at your local DMV. There is also a $25 fee for a replacement title. Your new title will arrive via mail in approximately 15 business days once your application is processed.

How do I transfer a car title from a deceased owner in Connecticut?

To transfer ownership from a deceased person, take the death certificate and the required H-13 form to your local DMV office, along with the vehicle’s title. If there is a will in place, the executor will need to sign the title. If there is no will, but probate is not needed, you will need a Survivorship Affidavit. If you would like assistance with this process, reach out to our team.

How do I replace a damaged car title in Connecticut?

What is the lien removal process for a vehicle titled in Connecticut?
