Replacing Titles in Louisiana

When the ownership of a vehicle changes hands, a title transfer must take place. You can replace a lost title, or a title that has been damaged or destroyed, by submitting the following to your local Office of Motor Vehicles (OMV):

Completed DPSMV1799 vehicle application form. The Duplicate Title Affidavit section must be signed by a notary.
Notarized Affidavit of Non-Possession of Title by Lienholder, in the case of a lien removal.
$18.50 title fee, plus an $8 handling fee at most locations.

A bill of sale is not required for a duplicate car title; however it is required for the completion of a title transfer. You can apply for a duplicate title by visiting your local OMV branch, or by mailing all documents and fees to the following address:

Louisiana OMV
P.O. Box 64866
Baton Rouge, LA 70896
(225) 925-6146

If you are planning to drive the vehicle, you must register the vehicle in your name. Vehicle registration must be completed in person at an OMV branch.
