Four Steps

How to Replace a Lost Nevada Title

Replacing a lost Nevada title takes one short visit to a hut, followed by some patience while the Nevada DMV processes the request. These are the four steps.

01
Check Where It Was Titled
A Nevada duplicate only works when the car was last titled in Nevada. If the most recent title came from another state, that state’s motor vehicle department has to issue the replacement.
02
Settle Any Loan First
Still making payments on the car? The lender is usually the owner of record, so the replacement Nevada title goes through them. If you already paid off the loan, bring the lien release with you.
03
Pull Up to Any Hut
Every owner on the title comes in with a photo ID and signs. We fill out the duplicate title application with you and send it to the Nevada DMV, all in about 20 minutes.
04
Check the Mailbox
The Nevada DMV prints the new title and sends it to the address on its record. Give it up to 6 weeks, and tell us before we file if you’ve moved recently.

Still no title after one more search through every drawer in the house? Grab your photo ID and any vehicle papers, then pull up to any of our 32 huts, or call (702) 436-5346 with your questions.

What to Bring for a Duplicate Title

  • A photo ID: any current government-issued photo ID, one for each owner who signs.
  • Every owner on the title: each one signs in person, and our policy doesn’t accept a power of attorney for this filing.
  • Vehicle papers: your Nevada registration if you have it, though we can also identify the car by its VIN.
  • A lien release: if you paid off a loan on the car.
  • A police case number: if the title was stolen and you reported the theft.

Call (702) 436-5346 and ask for a quote ahead of your visit. At the hut, we go over the total with you before anything gets filed.

Special Cases for a Lost Nevada Title

Some duplicate title requests need an additional document. Bring whatever you have, and we determine exactly what your vehicle record requires.

  • Two or more owners: every owner listed on the Nevada title signs in person at the hut.
  • The owner died: bring the estate or court papers that show who can act for the owner.
  • A loan or lease: the lender or leasing company may be the owner of record, so start with them.
  • A title from another state: that state’s motor vehicle department replaces it, not the Nevada DMV.
  • A new last name: bring the marriage record, divorce decree or court order along with the request.

Moved since the car was last titled? The new title goes by mail to whatever address the Nevada DMV has on record. Tell us before we file, and we can submit an address change together with the duplicate title request.

Duplicate Title or Title Transfer?

A duplicate title replaces a lost, stolen or damaged title, and the registered owner stays the same. A title transfer, by contrast, moves the car into a new owner’s name. Planning to sell a 2011 or newer vehicle? Request the duplicate first, since the buyer needs the original paper title signed over to them.

Common Questions

Duplicate Title FAQ

What form do I need to replace a lost title in Nevada?
The Nevada DMV form is VP 012, the application for a duplicate title. We fill it out with you at the hut, and each owner signs it. Our guide to requesting a lost Nevada vehicle title covers the details.
How long does a duplicate title take in Nevada?
Your visit takes about 20 minutes. Afterward, the Nevada DMV prints the title and mails it, which can take up to 6 weeks. Read how long a replacement title takes to learn what can delay the process.
Does every owner have to come in?
Yes. Each owner on the title signs the Nevada duplicate title application in person at the hut. Bring a photo ID for each one. Our filing policy doesn’t accept a power of attorney in place of an owner.
Can I get a duplicate title if I still owe money on the car?
While a loan or lease is still open, the lender or leasing company is usually the legal owner of record, so they handle the title. After you pay off the loan, bring the lien release to any of our 32 huts with your request.
Do I need a police report for a stolen title?
No, a police report isn’t required for a Nevada duplicate title. If you did report the theft to police, bring the case number along with your identification.
What if I find my old title later?
Once the Nevada DMV issues the duplicate, the old title is no longer valid. Keep the new title somewhere safe, and use only that one when you sell or transfer the car.
How much does a Nevada duplicate title cost?
Your total combines the Nevada DMV fee and our service fee. Call (702) 436-5346 for a quote, and book online beforehand to take $10 off our full DMV service fee.
