APPLICATION FOR DUPLICATE NEVADA CERTIFICATE OF TITLE
NRS 482.438
INSTRUCTIONS – PLEASE READ CAREFULLY
If an original Nevada Certificate of Title has been lost, stolen, or mutilated, a duplicate title may be
applied for 30 days after the last certificate of title was issued.
The application must be completed by the legal owner of the vehicle on file with the Department of
Motor Vehicles.
o The owner of the vehicle is the lienholder, if applicable. If the vehicle is leased, and there is no
lienholder, the lessor is the owner of the vehicle.
o If there is no lienholder or lessor, the owner of record is the registered owner.
o If the original title was issued with “AND” between the owners’ names, all owners must sign all
documents.
o A company stamp or printed name of the company is required if the title was issued in the
name of a company, along with the signature and title of an authorized representative of the
company.
The “Requested By” area is to be completed if the Duplicate Nevada Certificate of Title is to be
mailed to a different address or person. An original notarized authorization letter is required
whenever a title is mailed to someone other than a licensed Nevada dealer or the legal/registered
owner.
The application must be notarized, or witnessed by an authorized Nevada Department of Motor
Vehicles Representative.
If a lien has been satisfied (paid in full), on a printed title, the registered owner may sign the
application if it is accompanied by an original notarized lien release.
If a lien has been satisfied (paid in full), on an electronic title, the registered owner will need to
have the lien holder electronically release their lien and a title will be mailed to the registered
owner.
If you are requesting the duplicate title be mailed to another state a written statement is required.
The statement must have the vehicle description including VIN, year, and make. The statement
must be issued by the other state’s agency, responsible for issuing vehicle titles and registrations,
verifying the Nevada Certificate of Title has not been surrendered to them.
The Duplicate Title fee must be submitted with the application. The title fee is $21.00 when the
vehicle is remaining in Nevada. Vehicles not physically located or registered in Nevada have a
$36.00 title fee. Additionally, a Title Processing Fee, in the amount of $8.25, must be charged on
all title transactions that involve a complete change of ownership. There has been a Technology
fee associated to each transaction. When paying by check, make the check payable to DMV.
The Duplicate Nevada Certificate of Title becomes the valid title. Any attempt to use a previously
issued title may constitute fraud, pursuant to NRS 482.436, 482.545 and 482.555, which are
considered Gross Misdemeanors. If you locate an invalid title, return it to the Department
immediately for disposal.
