Replacing a Lost Title in South Dakota
Ordering a Duplicate Title

Losing a title happens more than you might think. So much so South Dakota's Motor Vehicles Division (MVD) has an efficient duplicate title retrieval process.
The process is simple. All you must do is:
- Complete an aptly named Application for a Duplicate Certificate of Title. It must be signed before a notary public, and include the notary public's seal.
- Provide an odometer reading if your vehicle is under 10 years old, and/or has a gross vehicle weight rating of 16,000 pounds or less.
- Include a lien release if there's a lien, or have the lienholder sign the Application for a Duplicate Certificate of Title.
- Pay a $10 fee.
You can either deliver this in person to your county treasurer's office or mail to:
- Duplicate Title Section
- Division of Motor Vehicles
- 445 East Capitol Ave.
- Pierre, SD 57501-3185
