The VP-012 Application for Duplicate Nevada Certificate of Title lets the legal owner obtain a replacement title if the original is lost, stolen, mutilated, or never received. By DMV rule, a duplicate may be requested 30 days after the last title was issued.
The form requires the VIN, year, make, model, plate number, and complete owner/lienholder details. Signatures must be original and the application must be notarized or witnessed at DMV. Photocopies are not accepted and no changes may be made after signing.
Who is the โownerโ for purposes of VP-012? If thereโs a lien, the lienholder is the owner. If leased and thereโs no lienholder, the lessor is the owner. Otherwise, the registered owner is the owner. If the title shows โANDโ between names, all owners must sign.

โLost the title to a trade-in and needed a duplicate fast. LMMN came to our dealership, notarized VP-012s for two vehicles, and we had clean packets for DMV the same afternoon.โ
