1. How do I get a duplicate certificate of title?
Application is made in person at any county title office. There is a $6.00 fee. Please take your picture ID, registration or any other documents that verify the vehicle identification number.
2. My insurance company has salvaged my vehicle, but I am keeping it and repairing it for my use, what steps do I need to follow?
First apply for a salvage title in your name changing the status of your title from regular to salvage. (NOTE: The vehicle cannot be operated on the highway while evidenced on a salvage title.) Upon completion of the repairs contact the closest Highway Patrol Inspection Station and make an appointment to have a salvage inspection done. ($50 fee) Take any receipts for repairs and new parts with you to the inspection. After the vehicle has successfully completed the inspection, take Form HP106 and your salvage title, and proceed to any title office and apply for a "rebuilt salvage" title. After all of these steps have been completed, the vehicle is now operable for highway use.
3. I just got married, do I need to go and have my name changed on my title?
No, at the time the title was issued your maiden name was correct and the title office will not change your title. Upon the sale of the vehicle that is in your maiden name, assign the title with your married name and also your maiden name.
4. How do I transfer ownership of my vehicle to another person?
On the back of your current title, at the top, complete the new buyers name and address, plus the purchase price. Complete the odometer certification area stating the mileage as it appears on the odometer. Right under the mileage area is the sellers notary section. This area must be completed and notarized. Next, the buyer must acknowledge the mileage as stated by the seller by filling in his signature and then printing his name. The seller should make a copy of the front and back of the assigned title and remove the plates from the vehicle.
5. How do I record a lien on a motor vehicle?
The Clerk of Courts title office in any county will require an application for title to record a lien. Once the application is filled out and the lien information added, plus the surrender of the owner 's title, a new title will be issued to the lienholder. The fee is currently $10.00. The title owner should receive a memorandum title for registration and plating that is an additional $5.00 fee. The application for title is available online in the forms download area.
