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!
EB Rockman
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.

October 6, 2026Selling a car in Louisiana takes more than signing the back of the title. Here is what the seller has to do: a notarized signature, a released lien, a price and mileage in writing, a notice to OMV, and a canceled plate before the insurance goes.
October 1, 2026Louisiana law lets a public tag agent issue a title for pickup within 24 hours of a complete request, not counting weekends and holidays. Here is what qualifies, what stops the clock, and how Title Authority in Covington handles it.

Questions We Get Every Week
Do I need an appointment for DMV services?
No. Walk-ins Monday to Friday 9:00 to 5:00, Saturday 10:00 to 2:00. Appointments are available if you would rather not wait, and they help if your transaction is complicated.
Do you handle mobile homes, antique vehicles and out-of-state titles?
All three. Mobile homes with or without land, vehicles twenty-five years and older, and vehicles coming in from another state. If you have just moved to Louisiana, you have thirty days to register.
Can you transfer a vehicle I inherited?
Yes. We handle transfers from a deceased owner into the new owner’s name, and we can notarize the small succession documents during the same visit rather than sending you to a separate notary.
What can't you do at your counter?
Driver’s licenses and State ID cards until our rollout is complete, and road tests and written knowledge tests, which the state administers. Beyond that, if it involves a title, a registration, a plate or a notary, call us before assuming you need the state office.
Can I renew my driver's license at your Covington office?
Not yet. We are approved for driver’s license work and expect to begin around November 2026, which will cover renewals, REAL ID upgrades, lost or duplicate licenses, first-time issuance and State ID cards. Until then, licenses and State IDs go to the state office. Titles, registrations, plates and notary work we handle today.
Is Title Authority the DMV?
No, and the difference works in your favor. We are a licensed Louisiana Public Tag Agent, authorized by the Office of Motor Vehicles to process most of the same transactions. You get the same result without the state office wait.
