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 Duplicate Title form, signed by the owner/s.
2. If your original title is damaged or mutilated, you must return the original title when applying for a replacement.
3. If your title shows a lien holder, you must include a letter of lien release on the lien holder's letterhead or complete the DMV Lien Release form.

FEES

The fee for a duplicate title certificate for motor vehicles is $28. If you want a duplicate title certificate for your boat, snowmobile or ATV, you will have to submit a fee of $15.

SUBMITTING THE APPLICATION

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

Vermont DMV
120 State Street
Montpelier, Vermont 05603-0001
