Common Questions About Dealer Duplicate and Corrected Titles

• Who can request a duplicate title in Louisiana?

  The registered owner, a lienholder, a person with a valid power of attorney, or a court-appointed representative may request a duplicate. Deceased owners may only qualify if a duplicate was requested before their death.

• What documents are needed to request a duplicate title?

  You must submit a completed Vehicle Application (DPSMV 1799), your valid photo ID, proof of vehicle registration or other ownership proof, and lien release if applicable. The duplicate title affidavit must also be signed and notarized.

• How much does a duplicate title cost and how long does it take?

  In Louisiana the base fee is $68.50 plus an $8 handling fee. The process can take 7 to 10 business days depending on OMV processing times.

• Can I get a duplicate title if the original is damaged or never received?

  Yes. Louisiana issues duplicate titles when the original is lost, damaged, destroyed, or never received by the owner.

• Is expedited or next-day duplicate title service available?

  Yes. Some Public Tag Agent (PTA) offices, including Title Authority, can process expedited duplicate title requests for next business day pickup when all paperwork is correct and complete.

• What is a title correction in Louisiana?

  A title correction is the process of fixing incorrect or missing information on your Louisiana vehicle title. This can include errors in names, addresses, VIN numbers, or ownership details. Title Authority reviews your documentation and files the proper correction with the OMV to ensure your title is valid.

• What documents do I need to correct my vehicle title in Louisiana?

  You will need your current title, a valid photo ID, and any supporting documents that verify the correct information, such as a bill of sale or insurance card. Title Authority confirms the necessary paperwork before submitting your correction to the OMV.

• How long does a title correction take in Louisiana?

  Processing times can vary depending on the correction type, but most title corrections are completed within 2 to 4 weeks once all documents are verified. Title Authority ensures your correction is filed accurately to avoid delays.

• Can I sell or transfer my vehicle if my title has an error?

  No, you cannot legally sell or transfer a vehicle until the title information is accurate. Incorrect or incomplete details can cause the OMV to reject your transfer. Title Authority can correct your title quickly so you can complete the sale without issues.
