Step 1: Make Sure It Was Titled in Texas

Before you do anything, check that your vehicle was last titled in Texas. If it was titled in another state, you will need to contact that state’s DMV for a replacement.

If it is a Texas title, keep reading.

📝

Step 2: Complete Form VTR-34

Fill out Form VTR-34, which is the official Application for a Certified Copy of Title.

Here is what you will need:

🔍 Your vehicle’s VIN

🆔 A valid Texas driver’s license or photo ID

✍️ Signatures of all listed owners matching the original title

📄 A lien release letter if you paid off a car loan

💡 You can only apply: for a duplicate if 30 days have passed since the last title was issued.

🖊️

Step 3: Sign the Form Correctly

You must either:

📋

Get it notarized

🏢

Sign it in front of a Texas DMV employee

This confirms your identity and helps prevent fraud.

💵

Step 4: Pay the Fee

The fee depends on how you apply:

$2

if mailed

$5.45

if submitted in person at the Dallas County Tax Office which covers Farmers Branch

📬

Step 5: Submit the Application

Choose the method that works best for you:

🏢

In Person

Bring everything to the Dallas County Tax Assessor-Collector Office:

📋 The completed and signed Form VTR-34
🆔 Your photo ID
💵 The fee
📄 Any required lien release documents
📮

By Mail

Send the notarized form, a copy of your ID, and the $2 fee to:
