Order Your Replacement Maryland Vehicle Title Online

Why a Vehicle Title is Important

A certificate of title is a document that proves your ownership of a vehicle. This can be a car, truck, SUV, RV, motorcycle, or boat. Without this proof, you cannot legally drive the vehicle, sell it, or add/remove an owner. In addition, when purchasing a vehicle, you cannot legally take ownership without this document.

When a vehicle changes hands, the certificate of title must be signed over from seller to buyer. The document itself cannot bear any corrections, cross-outs, or be damaged. In the case that the title has been compromised in one of these ways, you will need to order a replacement for this scenario as well.

Who Can Apply for a Replacement Title

The only people permitted to order a replacement (duplicate) title is the legally titled owner(s). This means that only the person (or people) whose name is listed on the front of the document may apply for a duplicate. The exception to this rule is if the applicant has legal authorization from the titled owner to apply on their behalf.
