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.

The Maine BMV provides a complete list of specialty vehicles that also require titles.

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 $23 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.
