Vehicle Titles

To apply for a duplicate Oklahoma title, you are required to submit the following documents to Service Oklahoma (N Classen) or a Licensed Operator:

• Completed 701-7 Application for Duplicate Certificate of Title for Vehicle/Boat/Motor
  • The record owner(s) or lienholder must sign the 701-7 form and their signature(s) notarized by a Notary Public. If utilizing a Power of Attorney the Actual Notarized Power of Attorney, or a Certified Copy of the Power of Attorney, must also be submitted.
  • As requested on the application, the vehicle identification number of the vehicle, or serial number of the boat or outboard motor is required. Please also include the current registration decal number.
    
    
• Either current Oklahoma Registration, or proof of the record owner’s out of state residency
  • Out of state residency may be evidenced by an out of state registration for the vehicle/boat/motor, a utility bill, rental agreement, or out of state driver license in the name of the record owner. If the Oklahoma registration is not current and out of state residency cannot be established, all delinquent Oklahoma registration fees and penalties will have to be remitted, along with an Oklahoma insurance verification form, in order for the duplicate title to be issued.
    
    
• Duplicate Title Fee of $11 (additional $1.66 mail fee may apply when mailing in your form)
  • If you would like to mail in your application, please send it to the address below:

There are four different types of title hold. See below to learn what they are and what you will need to do to get the hold removed:

• Document (Doc) Hold:
  • You will need to bring the out of state title or MSO to a Service Oklahoma or Licensed Operator

• Serial Inspection (SI) Hold:
  • You will need to bring your vehicle to a Service Oklahoma or Licensed Operator for a VIN inspection (there will be a $4 fee for the inspection)
• Document/Serial Inspection (DS) Hold:
  • You will need to visit a Service Oklahoma or Licensed Operator location and bring the prior Vehicle Title or MSO as well as the vehicle for a VIN inspection
    
• International Registration Plan (IRP) Hold:
  • You will need to bring a current CAB Card to a Service Oklahoma or Licensed Operator
    

Service Oklahoma will assign Oklahoma lienholders a Lienholder ID number (LHID). The LHID will allow the lienholder to see all liens associated with the LHID on the lienholder’s account in our system. Lienholder IDs are required to participate in the electronic lien and title program.

All lienholders will be assigned a Lienholder ID regardless of whether they opt-in to the ELT program.

Lienholders may also submit paper requests for any of these services directly to Service Oklahoma at:

Service Oklahoma
Motor Vehicle Liens
P.O. Box 26800
Oklahoma City, OK 73126

Some, not all, trailers have titles. If the trailer has a title and is subject to a lien, the title will be mailed to the lienholder.

Beginning July 1, 2025:

• If a lien is still active, no action is required. The lienholder will continue to hold the paper or electronic title until the lien is satisfied.
• If a lien has been paid off but a paper title has not been issued, the vehicle owner may request an electronic title release through Service Oklahoma.

Each state has different requirements for documentation. Most states will allow vehicle registration with a Certificate of Registration which can be obtained online here while you wait for your title. Some lenders may mail the title directly to the other state.

Once filed, liens will remain reflected as active in the Service Oklahoma system until a properly executed lien release is surrendered. If you have a lien release you wish to submit, mail the lien release to:

Service Oklahoma
Motor Vehicle Liens
P.O. Box 26800
Oklahoma City, OK 73126

There is no fee to release a lien in our system. However, if you wish a new title to be issued reflecting that the lien is no longer active, you may take your lien release and title to Service Oklahoma Licensing Office (N Classen) or Licensed Operator. A new title, without the lien listed, will be processed for a title fee of $11.00.

If there is a lien on your vehicle, the title was mailed to your lien holder. Please contact your lien holder to receive your title.
 

If there is no lien on your vehicle and it has been more than 21 days and less than 90 days since the title was issued, please contact Service Oklahoma and an affidavit will be mailed for you to fill out and send back for a title.

Starting July 1, 2025, all vehicle titles will be issued electronically. Paper titles will be issued with limited exceptions.

A record of your title transactions is referred to as a title history and is required to access any vehicle history or information. To request this, you must complete Form 769 - Vehicle Information Request. Title histories are only available through Service Oklahoma and must be requested in person or by mail.

An electronic title is a digital record of vehicle ownership maintained by the state, with no physical title being issued. Beginning July 1, 2025, all titles will be issued electronically, with limited exceptions.

ELT stands for Electronic Liens and Titles. Oklahoma introduced an optional ELT program in 2022, allowing lienholders to process electronic liens and titles for vehicles. Beginning July 1, 2025, all titles will be issued electronically, with limited exceptions. 

• More buyers financing their vehicle will have their liens recorded electronically, ensuring a faster, more secure process
• Buyers may still receive paper titles as Oklahoma transitions to electronic titles. If a vehicle has an existing paper title, it will remain valid until the next title transaction (such as vehicle purchase, transfer or trade-in).

The customer will receive an Electronic Title Bill of Sale in lieu of a title document, along with other purchase-related paperwork. The customer will then use the Electronic Title Bill of Sale to register their vehicle. The form can be previewed at this link.

Even after July 1, 2025, some dealerships may still have vehicles with existing paper titles. In this case, the customer will receive the paper title as part of their purchase. Once full registration is completed in their name, the title will be converted to an electronic title as part of that first transaction.

• If a lien is still active, no action is required. The lienholder will continue to hold the paper or electronic title until the lien is satisfied.
• If a lien has been paid off but a paper title has not been issued, the vehicle owner may request an electronic title release through Service Oklahoma.

•  Existing paper titles will remain valid. However, when a transaction occurs (such as a sale, transfer or lien placement), the title will be converted to an electronic record.
• Vehicle owners who prefer to convert to an electronic title before a transaction are able to do so online or in person.

No, the transition to ELT does not increase costs for vehicle owners. Standard title and registration fees remain the same.

To sell a vehicle with an electronic title, you will utilize our Form 718 - Bill of Sale of an Electronic Title. This document will take the place of the Oklahoma title and can be downloaded from the Service Oklahoma website to print, fill out and notarize.
