If you’re a vehicle owner, chances are you know how important it is to be in possession of a clean, legal certificate of title. Not only does your title declare you (and any possible co-owner) as having legal ownership of the car, truck, SUV, or motorcycle), but it is also necessary to have on hand when it comes time to sell your ride. You will not be able to sell, and potential buyers will not be able to assume ownership in a sale without a title.

It’s important to note that even if you have your certificate of title, but it is stained, torn, or bears corrections or cross-outs, it will not be considered acceptable by the MVA (Motor Vehicle Association) in Maryland.
So what happens if that title gets lost, damaged, or stolen? Well, then it’s time to apply for a replacement document. And luckily, eTags is here to help you through this process. In this article we will guide you through the steps it takes to order a replacement (sometimes referred to as a duplicate) online with eTags.com. The procedure is simple and straightforward. Ready? Here we go.
How to Order a Replacement Title Online with eTags.com
1. Head over to our homepage and select Maryland as your state from our pop-up menu.
2. Choose “Replace Lost Title” from the list of services and click “Continue.”
3. Next, enter your VIN. This is your vehicle identification number, and if you’ve lost your title, it can be found usually etched into the driver’s side lower windshield area and sometimes on the side of the driver’s seat.
4. Now you will be asked to confirm that the vehicle information presented to you is indeed correct. If it’s not, please go back to the VIN screen and check to see that you’ve entered all the digits correctly.
5. Here is the space to provide your contact details. Please provide both your email address as well as your phone number.
6. This screen asks about the legal owner(s) of the vehicle that needs a new title. Choose whether the document belongs to an individual (plural, if there are two owners listed on the lost/damaged title) or if it belongs to a company. Select the appropriate choice and fill in the names accordingly.
7. It’s time to enter your shipping address. Again, please be sure to type in the exact address where you’d like your replacement title to arrive.
