How to Get a New Title for My Truck
- 1). Locate your truck's unique vehicle identification number (VIN) on the truck's dashboard. This is a 17 digit number that is unique to the truck and can be used to identify it legally.
- 2). Contact the government office in your state that is in charge of issuing vehicle titles. In some states, this is the department of motor vehicles, in others it is the tax collectors office. Inquire as to what specific forms you need to fill out in order to request a duplicate title. These forms are available for download online in most states.
- 3). Fill out the application for duplicate title with the appropriate information about the vehicle. Submit the forms, proof of your identification, proof of release of any liens on the title (if applicable) and a check or money order for the amount of the duplicate title fee in your state. These fees vary greatly by location.
You may be required to provide proof of address if the address where you currently reside does not match the address on your truck's registration and title. - 4). Wait several weeks until the new title arrives in the mail.
