Lost, damaged, or never received your Delaware title? You still have legal ways to sell. Here's how it works in 2026, based on official Delaware rules — plus the fastest way to just get a cash offer.
Delaware keeps it simple: to sell, the title needs to be in your name, so if yours is missing you'll replace it first. Here's how, per the Delaware DMV.
Complete an Application for Duplicate Title (Form MV213) — all owners must sign, and any lienholder completes their portion. The duplicate title fee is $50 ($55 if a lien is involved). Apply in person at any Delaware DMV or by mail. Once you have the title, you assign it to your buyer on the back.
When you transfer the car, the odometer disclosure isn't required if the vehicle is 10 years old or older or has no motor. Delaware charges a 4.25% document fee on transfers rather than a traditional sales tax.
