If there is not a lien on a vehicle the owner(s) may replace a lost or damaged motor
vehicle title by visiting either the Courthouse or Bonny Oaks office.
However, for the Clerk's office to issue a replacement title the vehicle record
must be in the State's computer system and eligible for replacement. Also, the registered
owners, when applying, must present proof of ownership and Photo ID. If a lien is
recorded against the vehicle a discharge of lien must accompany the application.
