    When You Need a Duplicate Title

    If your vehicle's title is lost, stolen, damaged, or destroyed, you will need to order a duplicate title to have official ownership documentation. A vehicle title is essential for selling your vehicle, completing a transfer of ownership, or registering your vehicle in a new state.

    How to Request a Duplicate Title

    To request a duplicate vehicle title in Michigan, you must submit an application to the Secretary of State. This can typically be done online, by mail, or in person at a Secretary of State office. You'll need to provide your vehicle identification number (VIN), your personal identification information, and details about the vehicle. A fee is required at the time of the application.

    Required Documentation

    Along with your application for a duplicate title, you may need to provide additional documentation. This could include your driver's license or state ID, the vehicle's registration, and any loan or lien release documents if applicable. Check the specific requirements on the Michigan Secretary of State website or at their office.

    Processing Time and Delivery

    After submitting your application for a duplicate title, there will be a processing period. Once processed, the duplicate title will be mailed to your registered address. Ensure your address is up to date to avoid delays. Expedited services may be available for an additional fee if you need the duplicate title sooner.

    Tips for Protecting Your Title

    Once you receive your duplicate title, keep it in a safe and secure place to prevent loss or damage. Avoid keeping it in your vehicle. If you're selling the vehicle, make sure to complete the transfer of ownership properly to avoid any legal or financial issues.
