If you think you've lost your vehicle's title or salvage certificate, you can apply for a duplicate. The Maine BMV also will replace titles that are stolen, damaged, or illegible.

First, make sure your vehicle actually requires a title in Maine. Motor vehicles, trailers over 3,000 pounds, and motorcycles must have titles if they are 15 years old or newer.

Steps to Replace Your Title

Below are the five easy steps to get a duplicate title:

1. Complete a duplicate title application. Maine dealers and lienholders can also complete the application.
2. Make sure the application is signed, or it will not be processed.
3. Complete and file a lien release form if BMV records show a lien that has since been released.
4. Mail the completed forms or take them in person to a local BMV office.
5. Pay a $33 fee. Checks and money orders should be made out to the Secretary of State. You can pay an extra $10 to speed processing. Do not send cash in the mail.
