Lost, damaged, or never received your Missouri title? You still have legal ways to sell. Here's how it works in 2026, based on official Missouri rules — plus the fastest way to just get a cash offer.
Missouri handles titles through the Department of Revenue and license offices, and the application must be notarized. Here's how to replace a lost title and sell.
Complete Form 108 (Application for Missouri Title and License), mark the 'Duplicate' box, state the reason, and have it notarized. The cost is about $17.50 ($8.50 duplicate + $9 processing). Submit at any Missouri license office or by mail. If a lien shows, include a notarized lien release.
If you can't get a clean title (e.g. the seller never had one in their name), Missouri offers a bonded title: Form 108, a statement of how you acquired the vehicle, a vehicle exam (Form 551) by the Highway Patrol, and a surety bond. It's generally a last resort once other paths are exhausted.
