Step 1: Confirm It’s a Texas Title

First things first, make sure your vehicle was last titled in Texas. If it was titled in another state, you’ll need to request a duplicate from that state’s DMV. But if it was issued in Texas, you’re right where you need to be.

📝

Step 2: Fill Out Form VTR-34

To request a certified duplicate title, complete Form VTR-34 (Application for a Certified Copy of Title).

You’ll want to gather:

🔍 Your vehicle’s VIN

🆔 A valid Texas driver’s license or state ID

✍️ Signatures of all owners exactly as shown on the original title

📄 A lien release letter if the vehicle was financed and fully paid off

💡 Important: You can only request a duplicate if at least 30 days have passed since the original title was issued.

Step 3: Sign in Front of Notary or DMV Official

Your form must be either:

📋

Notarized

🏢

Signed in front of a Texas DMV representative

This step helps protect against fraud and ensures your title request is valid.

💵

Step 4: Pay the Fee

Title replacement fees depend on how you submit your request:

$2

if mailed in

$5.45

if you apply in person at your local Dallas County Tax Office which serves Duncanville

What to Keep in Mind

After your duplicate title is issued, the original becomes invalid. If you find it later, you’ll need to surrender it to the DMV.

If the vehicle had a lien, be sure to include proof that the loan has been fully paid off.
