DUPLICATE VEHICLE TITLE

If your vehicle title has been lost, stolen, destroyed, or damaged, you must obtain a duplicate title before you can sell or transfer ownership.

You may apply for a duplicate title in person at any DMV office or by mail.


Who Can Apply

  • The vehicle owner of record, if there is no lienholder listed on the title.

  • The lienholder of record, if the vehicle still has a lien.

Note: This process applies only to titles most recently issued by Alaska.
If your title was issued by another state, you must request a duplicate from that state’s motor vehicle agency.


What You’ll Need

  1. A notarized Affidavit of Lost, Stolen, or Destroyed Title (Form 809)

  2. A lien release, if a lienholder is listed on the title

  3. The applicable fee: $15 


Payment Information

  • In Person: Pay at any DMV office by cash, check, or card.

  • By Mail: Include a check or money order for the correct amount, made payable to State of Alaska for $15. 


Important Information

  • Do not submit an affidavit if you still have the title or know where it is (for example, in a safe deposit box or storage).
    Executing a false affidavit may result in criminal prosecution.

  • This process is for Alaska-issued titles only.

Note: Alaska does not issue titles to off-highway vehicles such as 4-wheelers or snowmachines.
