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.

WHAT YOU NEED WHEN APPLYING FOR A DUPLICATE/REPLACEMENT TITLE

1. Complete the Application for Missouri Title and License (DOR-108) form, making sure to indicate on the form that you are applying for a duplicate title.
2. Once completed, you must have the application form properly notarized.
3. If your original title is damaged or mutilated, you must return the original title when applying for a replacement.
4. If your title shows a lienholder, you must include a completed and notarized Lien Release (DOR-4809) with your application. The form may be requested online, or at your local contract office.

FEES

Along with your application form and the other materials, you must submit an $8.50 duplicate title fee, plus a processing fee of $2.50. Checks and money orders should be payable to the Missouri Department of Revenue. Personal checks must include your name, address, date of birth, and driver license number.

SUBMITTING THE APPLICATION

You can submit the application and fees for a duplicate title at your local contract office, or mail the package to:
