If you lost, damaged, defaced, or destroyed your vehicle’s Certificate of Title, do not worry—it’s easy to obtain a new one! To get a duplicate title in Pennsylvania, you’ll need to request one from the Pennsylvania Department of Transportation & Vehicle Services (PennDOT).
If you are the vehicle owner, you can do so by simply completing form MV-380 and mailing it to PennDOT at the address listed on the form. You’ll also need to include a check or money order for $58—the current fee for a duplicate title.
If you’re a lienholder, you can request a title by completing form MV-38L, and if you’re a certified dealership, you’ll have to use form MV-38D. The cost will be the same.
All of the necessary forms can be found on the PennDOT website, as well as a breakdown of the most up-to-date fees.
Similar processes are used to receive duplicate copies of your registration. Keep in mind that if you’re applying to register your vehicle for the first time, you’ll need to provide proof of a
