Replacing a Lost Title

Replacing a Lost or Stolen Title

You'll need to apply for a replacement title if yours has been lost or stolen. Visit your local Motor Vehicle Commission (MVC) Agency and bring a completed application, your current registration papers, and proof of insurance.

You can also mail your application. Just send a copy of your current registration papers and proof of insurance with the application and fees to:

• State of New Jersey

• Motor Vehicle Commission

• Special Services

• P.O. Box 017

• Trenton, NJ 08666-0017

The cost for replacing a lost or stolen title is $25.

Replacing a Damaged Title

A damaged title will also need to be replaced, but the process is a bit different than one that has been lost or stolen. You can visit your local MVC Agency or send a letter requesting a replacement. Either way, you'll need to provide the same information:

• Statement telling the reason for the damage

• Your name and address

• Vehicle description, including the make, model, and Vehicle Identification Number

• Damaged title

The fee for replacing a damaged title is $20.

If you wish to request a replacement by mail, submit the required information and replacement fee to:

• Motor Vehicle Commission

• Database Correction Unit

• P.O. Box 141

• 225 E. State St.

• Trenton, NJ 08666-0141
