Duplicate Title Replacement in Maryland

If your Maryland vehicle title has been lost, stolen, or damaged, you'll need a replacement, or duplicate, title before you can sell, gift, or refinance the vehicle. Signature Tag & Title assists customers from its Pikesville office and serves Baltimore and Baltimore County residents who need a duplicate title in Maryland or a lost car title replacement in the Baltimore, MD area.

Signature Tag & Title is an independent, private tag and title service, not the Maryland MVA. We help prepare and submit your duplicate title paperwork on your behalf so the process is as smooth as possible.

CHECKLIST

What You Need to Request a Duplicate Title

This is a general checklist, and exact requirements can vary depending on your situation.

  • Government-issued photo ID (driver's license or equivalent)
  • Maryland vehicle registration card or license plate number
  • Vehicle Identification Number (VIN)
  • Completed Maryland duplicate title application (form provided at appointment)
  • Lien information, if the vehicle has an outstanding loan
  • Notarization, if required for your specific situation

These are editable placeholders pending confirmation of exact MVA requirements. Book an appointment or call to confirm what you'll need for your specific case.

What to Expect When Replacing a Lost Title

3. We submit it for you. We submit the paperwork to the Maryland MVA on your behalf.
