Page OverviewReplacing Your Lost Title
If you suddenly realize your vehicle's title is missing, you'll need to replace this document. It's important, especially if you're in the process of selling your vehicle.
Here's what you do:
- Complete and notarize an Affidavit of Loss form.
- Pay a $19 fee.
Do this in person by visiting any vehicle licensing office. Or, if you prefer to submit by mail, send it to:
- Department of Licensing
- PO Box 9909
- Olympia, Washington 98507-8500
Be patient. It takes up to ten weeks for your duplicate title to arrive in the mail.
If a Lienholder is Involved
If your title is lost your lienholder, not you, must apply for the duplicate title.
