If your vehicle title is lost, you may replace it by processing a duplicate title application at a Secretary of State branch office.  All owners shown on the title record must sign the title application and present identification.  If an owner cannot appear, they may complete and sign an Appointment of Agent form designating another individual to sign on their behalf.

Your duplicate title will arrive in the mail in 7-10 days.  If you need your title sooner, instant (same-day) title service is available at several branch offices.  To locate the nearest instant title office, click here.

The replacement title fee is $15.  There is an extra $5 fee for same-day title service.

Note:  Your situation may differ from the information outlined above.  Please check with our Information Center at 1-888-SOS-MICH (1-888-767-6424) to make sure you have all the correct paperwork before going to a branch office.
