What to bring

  • duplicate-title request for the West Virginia title record

Likely next steps

  1. Use West Virginia's duplicate-title workflow before attempting a sale, transfer, or correction that depends on the title record.
  2. Confirm the titled owner, lien status, and filing path before submitting the request.
  3. Wait for the replacement title before relying on it for later ownership work.
