Tittle Authority offers so many different services. I have gone there several times since they opened. Everyone is friendly and knowledgeable they treat you like you’re part of their family.
"Service was fast and friendly! Outstanding people Loved it!
This was an amazing experience for me! Friendly helpful and it was great to hand over all documents & he got me all situated! Handed me a paper and said you don’t need it & tossed it. Normally when I buy a car I keep all the papers & here’s this man simplifying what I didn’t need any longer now that I paid him a visit! Great people!

I have been going to the multiwindow, pick a number, title places on the northshore and southshore for years, to transfer cars, boats, etc. I had to transfer my dad’s boat and trailer to myself after he passed away four years ago and my brother says, go right over here to see Louis Dutel (“The Title Guru”). So I went to Title Authority on Hwy. 25 in Covington. Parking was a breeze with a large lot and many parking spots available (again, opposed to the other larger title shops which have limited parking spaces). Louis is super friendly, very patient and thorough. His office has lots of space which is helpful when you have two or more in your party to make a transfer. Louis transferred the boat trailer registration and gave me the license plate right there. Then he filled out and notarized all of the forms to transfer the boat registration with the Louisiana Wildlife and Fisheries (LWF). My options were to mail them in and wait six weeks for the transfer or to visit the LWF in Baton Rouge and get the transfer that day. I opted to go to Baton Rouge since my daughter and grandkids live in Prairieville. After handing the clerk the forms from Louis, she commented that all forms were completed perfectly which made it easy and quicker for her to make the transfer. I was probably there at LWF for 10 minutes max and I walked out with my new boat stickers and new registration.
Obviously, I highly recommend using Louis. I also recommend you call him before coming in so you know what to bring to make the title transfer or other service smooth and quick.


Start your request online and we will tell you if anything needs to be signed or presented in person. Many customers finish without a visit, and you are always welcome at our Covington office if you prefer to handle it at the counter.
A recorded lien can affect how a duplicate title is handled and who receives it. When we review your request we check whether a lien is on record and explain how it applies to your situation before we file anything.
Timing depends on which service you request and what the OMV requires for your specific vehicle. Once we review your request we tell you what to expect, and we keep you updated until your registration or title is ready.
Yes. Louisiana requires active liability coverage on record before a registration can be renewed. We verify your coverage as part of processing your request and let you know if anything needs to be updated first.
You need your name and contact details, your vehicle year, make, and model, and either your license plate number or the last six digits of your VIN. If something is missing we will follow up with you before we file.
You can request a Louisiana vehicle registration renewal, a duplicate title, or both in the same request. Submit the online form and we confirm exactly what your transaction requires before anything is filed.
