What is a Duplicate Title for a Vehicle

What is a Duplicate Title for a Vehicle?
While a duplicate is exactly what it sounds like, it’s a replacement exact copy of the current title. It doesn’t have any name changes and the address changes. Only the current owner can request it.

Requirements for Requesting a Duplicate Title
It has to come from the same state. If you’re a buyer and you’ve got a car without a title, you need to contact the prior owner to request a duplicate. You can’t do that yourself if you’re not the owner.

Limitations of a Duplicate Title
A duplicate title is not going to help you because it’s going to be in somebody else’s name. It’s not going to be in your name.

Process for the Owner
So, if you are the owner, it’s a very easy process. You can go directly to the DMV, and it should cost you no more than $10 in most states.
