Is there a cost applied to get a replacement title in Washington, DC?

Posted on by AgentInsure

As your independent agent in Washington, DC, we do not just have answers about insurance. We know that sometimes you need to get a replacement title for your vehicle because your one was lost or stolen. One big question you are asking is will there be a charge for this replacement?

Sadly, the answer is Yes, but the cost applied is a reasonable one – only $26. Any DMV service location would be able to assist you with obtaining this replacement title, as long as you have the following information:

  • A signed Application for Duplicate Certificate of Title. This must be signed by all owners.

  • Vehicle Identification. This can be any one of the following that can be used to identify the correct tag/title:

    • Vehicle Identification Number (VIN)

    • Title Number

    • Tag (license plate) Number

    • Registration Card

    • Registration Renewal Notice

  • Personal Identification: For each owner, a valid and unexpired District of Columbia driver’s license, learner’s permit or ID card must be shown.

  • And of course, the payment – $26

    • As well as cash and money orders, some credit cards can be used for payment.

      • VISA

      • MasterCard

      • Discover

    • American Express is NOT accepted.

If for some reason you are unable to get to a local DMV service location, the materials above (with copies of your ID, rather than the originals), can be mailed to:

D.C. DMV

PO Box 90120

Washington, D.C. 20090

For further information, you can give one of our independent agents a call so we can give you the specific details you need for your situation.
