Your title is an important document, but it can be easy to misplace. Fortunately, it's fairly simple to replace it.

Lost, stolen, or damaged titles may be replaced by completing the duplicate title form. Take the form to your county tax collector's office. If there was a lien on the vehicle, you'll need to provide proof that the lien has been paid.

Duplicate titles cost $29.25, and the DMV will process your application within five days. You'll then receive your replacement title in the mail.

Not fast enough for you? Some county tax collector offices offer expedited title services, which means that for an extra $7, you can get your title on the spot.

If you should stumble upon the original title later, be sure to destroy it or give it to the county tax collector for cancellation.

You may also mail your duplicate title form to your local county tax collector office. Be sure to include the proper paperwork and a check or money order to cover the fees.
