How to Replace a Lost Vehicle Title in Alabama

Submitted by deniz on Tue, 12/02/2008 - 03:03

You may apply for a duplicate vehicle title if your original title is lost, stolen, or damaged. A vehicle with a missing title cannot be bought or sold, so owners must apply for and obtain a replacement before they can sell their vehicle.

[edit] WHAT YOU NEED WHEN APPLYING FOR A DUPLICATE/REPLACEMENT TITLE

1. Complete the Application for Replacement Title.

2. If your title shows a lien holder, the lien release section of the application must be completed by the lien holder.

[edit] FEES

The non-refundable application fee is $15.00. Only cashier's checks and money orders payable to Alabama Department of Revenue are accepted.

[edit] SUBMITTING THE APPLICATION

You can submit the application and fees for a replacement title here:

Alabama Department of Revenue
Motor Vehicle Division -Title section
P.O. Box  327699
Montgomery, Al 36132-7699
