Vehicle Title Information
I want to...
- Complete duplicate application online (CS-L(MVR)10 – Application for Duplicate Motor Vehicle Certificate of Title)
- Print application
- Sign application in front of notary or satellite city staff (notarization required if submitting application by mail):
- By lienholder if there is a lien on vehicle
- By registered owner(s) if there is no lien on vehicle
- Submit application with $10 payment to City and County of Honolulu
- Here’s the mailing address for a duplicate title:
Division of Motor Vehicle, Licensing & Permits
P.O. Box 30330
Honolulu, HI 96820-0330
- For a duplicate title, the application cannot be emailed; the application must be physically submitted with payment.
If your original title is mutilated or defaced, it must be submitted with the application for duplicate certificate of title.
***
If a vehicle has a lienholder on record (generally due to a loan with a financial institution or a leased vehicle), the “lienholder” is considered the “Legal Owner” and controls the vehicle’s Certificate of Title.
Only the Lienholder can request for a duplicate Certificate of Title. The driver of the vehicle is the “Registered Owner” and cannot have access to the Certificate of Title.
