Replace Lost Title

Getting a Duplicate Car Title 

Lost your car title? Did someone steal it? Did your dog eat it? In any of these cases, you’ll need a replacement. A duplicate title must be obtained when an original title is lost, stolen, mutilated, illegible, or not received.  Note that once a replacement title is issued, the original title is invalided. Depending on how you choose to file your duplication request, it can take up to 3 three months. The DMV is not known for its rapidity, but we are! By using Skip The Line, you can get your duplicate title in just a few minutes.   We understand that mistakes happen and things get lost. That’s why we’re here to help. When you choose Skip The Line Vehicle Registration, we will help you get back on the road fast.

Before you apply to get a duplicate title, make sure that there is no other reason you may not have it. Here are. a few instances that could cause you to not be in possession of your title.

  1. The vehicle was financed, and the legal owner has the title
  2. Your vehicle was titled in a different state
  3. The transaction is in an RDF (unfinished) status. This may be the case if your vehicle did not pass inspection or needed a necessary document when it was titled.

Unbelievable and OUTSTANDING...is the only way to describe this place. My car had been stolen and I had new plates which caused confusion with my registration within the DMV process. I attempted to use the DMV kiosk which didnt recognize my information. I then went to not one but 2 registration service providers to avoid going to DMV neither one could help me. I then drove to El Cajon DMV there was a line around the building. Feeling overwhelmed I reluctantly went into this place next door to DMV. WITHIN 5 MINUTES I HAD MY TAGS AND REGISTRATION CARD. I CANT THANK THEM ENOUGH! ILL NEVER GO TO DMV AGAIN. Did I mention I mailed my registration and fees which was returned to me...not even the DMV themselves could register my vehicle. This place was amazing! A HUGE THANKS to "Skip the line"!
