Mississippi Vehicle Title Replacement: Get a Duplicate MS Title

Do you have an issue with your Mississippi vehicle title? Has it been lost, damaged, or stolen? If yes, it is recommended that you apply for a duplicate Mississippi title.

It’s essential to have a title if you plan on transferring ownership of your vehicle. This legal document proves that you own the car, and it’s necessary for selling, donating, registering, and renewing your vehicle. Make sure to keep it safe!

How to Get or Replace a Duplicate Mississippi Title

Requests for duplicate and replacement registrations can be made by mail or in person at your local Mississippi Department of Revenue (DOR) location.

If a replacement title is issued, the original title becomes invalid. The original title must be turned in to the Department of Revenue if it is later discovered.

How much does it cost to get a duplicate title in Mississippi?

To replace a Mississippi title, the cost is $9.00. If you need an expedited title through the Fast Track program, there is an additional fee of $30.00.

You can pay the fee for a replacement title using a cashier’s check, personal check, certified check, or any other form of certified funds.

Items Required to Get a Duplicate Mississippi Title

You must complete an Application for Replacement Certificate of Title (Form 78-006) to obtain a duplicate title. You must also have your driver’s license or a valid photo I.D. and a copy of your Mississippi registration certificate.

Other items you may need:

• License Plate Number
• Vehicle’s VIN, Year, Make, and Model
• Proof of Insurance
• Expiration Date of Registration Sticker
• Suppose a lien shows on the Department of Revenue’s computer system. In that case, the replacement title can only be mailed or given to the lienholder unless the lienholder provides a completed lien release. If the lienholder has gone out of business or changed names and the loan has been paid in full, it is still the owner’s responsibility to obtain a lien release. (if applicable)
• In the case of joint ownership, where the current title has the names joined by “AND,” both owners must sign the replacement application. If applying in person, both owners must be present or provide a Power of Attorney. (if applicable)
