How to replace your lost title in South Dakota

Have you accidentally lost the title to your vehicle, trailer or boat? The Department of Revenue has laid out the tools and information you will need to replace your lost information. 

1. Complete the Duplicate Title Application

By completing the duplicate title form, you are stating the original title has been either

  1. lost;
  2. stolen;
  3. destroyed;
  4. mutilated;
  5. illegible; or
  6. was never received.  

2. Complete the Odometer Disclosure
