How to File for a Lost Title in Arkansas

Apply for lost vehicle titles at your local revenue office.

Vehicles can't be bought or sold in Arkansas without a title. So if you've lost your title, it would be wise to request a replacement before you make a deal with a potential buyer. Go to any Arkansas revenue office and submit a title application form along with the required paperwork and the $5 replacement fee to apply for a duplicate title. A new title will be mailed to you within two weeks. If you have not received the replacement title within two weeks, you may call the revenue office for a status check.

Things You'll Need

• Title application form
• Form 10-315

Instructions

1. Complete the title application form (see Resources). You must include the signature of the last owner on the form.

2. Get a letter of permission or a lien release from the appropriate person if the vehicle has a lienholder.

3. Take the application and paperwork to the revenue office.

4. Pay the current fee of $5 made payable to the Department of Finance and Administration.

5. Call 501-682-7076 if you live out of state to have the form mailed to you or download it from the state website. Complete the application and mail it along with any required documents, a copy of the registration and the $5 fee to the Department of Finance and Administration, Little Rock, Arkansas.

• Proof of identification of the vehicle will need to be provided at the revenue office. Acceptable forms of identification are the vehicle identification number, license plate number or registration card.
