Lost Dmv title/bill of sale?

Question

I bought a car and paid for it in cash and the title was signed over to me. I recently moved and lost the title and bill of sale where they were signed over to me before I could take them to the DMV and have the title put in my n ame and have a tag issued and all of that. What can I do now to get my car registered? I bought the car from a dealership, so could I go there and get another bill of sale or something? I know that I can't get the title again since they signed it over to me, but what can I do to get the car in my name and get it registered?

Answer 1

If you absolutely can not find the signed title, you will have to contact the dealership and pay for them to get a duplicate title for the car.  That will be your only option, and it may take some time.

Answer 2

Yes, call the dealership.  They can either give you a copy of the original BOS or issue a new one for that date.  They could possibly give you a paper copy of the title, but what you may need to have them do is apply for a duplicate title (an official copy of the last title they gave you) so that you can register the car.
