| Replacing & Transferring Oregon Titles |

|
If you bought a vehicle but the title is lost, you may be able to get a title replacement and transfer the title to your name in one transaction with DMV.
A title replacement and transfer may be completed in one transaction if:
- The vehicle is not subject to odometer requirements, OR
- If one current registered owner will be remaining on the title.
If the vehicle is subject to odometer requirements, the owner of the vehicle as listed on the title must first get a replacement title. The owner must disclose the odometer on the title and provide the title to the buyer.
Please note that DMV can issue a replacement title only if the title is lost, destroyed, or damaged. Someone must also certify what happened to the original title on the Application for Replacement Title. A stolen title is considered lost only if an unknown party with no possible ownership interest stole it. You cannot apply for a replacement title when you know, or believe you know, who stole the title.
For further information, please contact DMV.
