If you're ready to sell your vehicle in Massachusetts but can't find your title, don't stress, it's a common issue, and the fix is straightforward. Whether you're selling to a private buyer, trading it in, or working with a car-buying service like ours, a valid title is required to transfer ownership.
Here’s everything you need to know to get a duplicate car title in Massachusetts.
Replacing a Title in Massachusetts
If your car was last titled in Massachusetts, the registered owner can apply for a duplicate title through the Registry of Motor Vehicles (RMV). You’ll need to fill out a Duplicate Title Application, which is available through the RMV.
There are three ways to submit your completed form:
1. Apply Online
The fastest way to request a duplicate title is through the Massachusetts RMV online portal.
- Processing time: Typically 2 business days
- Fee: $25
2. Apply in Person
You can also submit your application at a local RMV branch office.
- Processing time: 7–10 business days
- Fee: $25
3. Apply by Mail
If you prefer, you can mail your application and payment to:
Registry of Motor Vehicles
Title Division
P.O. Box 55885
Boston, MA 02205-5885
- Processing time: 7–10 business days
- Fee: $25
If the Vehicle Was Titled in Another State
If your car was last titled outside of Massachusetts, you’ll need to request a duplicate title through the DMV in that state. Massachusetts can only issue a duplicate for vehicles originally titled within the state.
