Replacement Title

How to Obtain a Replacement Title

If any liens were shown on the original title:

  • Submit the replacement title form (VT-004) and a lien release.
    • The lien release may be on the lien release form (VT-008) or the lien holder’s letterhead (including make, model, year, Vehicle/Vessel Identification Number, owner's name, and signature of the lienholder).
  • Only the lienholder may apply for a replacement if liens remain in effect.

In Person

If the last issued title had a lien listed, you will need proof that the lien has been released.
