What is the Indiana Duplicate Title Application Form?

State Form 205, Application for Certificate of Title for a Vehicle, or also referred to as the Indiana Duplicate Title Application Form, by the Indiana Bureau of Motor Vehicles (BMV) is a form that is used to request for a duplicate title when the original has been lost, destroyed, stolen, or becomes illegible.

One of the most essential documents you should always carry as a car owner is your car’s title. This is because it legally verifies that you are the rightful owner of the vehicle you have in possession. It is also an important document when you are transferring the ownership of your vehicle or when you are moving out of state. During these two situations, you also have to transfer your car title. So, What happens when your car title gets lost or damaged or the writing becomes illegible? All you need to do is to apply for a duplicate title. The Duplicate title is usually printed with the word “DUPLICATE” on its face. However, one should remember that applying for a duplicate will nullify the original title of your vehicle.

When applying for a duplicate title in Indiana you must be ready to provide the following:

  • An unexpired photo ID like driver’s license, state-issued ID, school ID, military ID, bank card, passport, or work ID;
  • Completed Application for Certificate of Title for a Vehicle; and
  • $15 fee.
