Lost, damaged, or never received your Mississippi title? You still have legal ways to sell. Here's how it works in 2026, based on official Mississippi rules — plus the fastest way to just get a cash offer.
In Mississippi, only the title proves ownership (not a bill of sale), so if yours is missing you replace it before selling. There's a fast-track option if you're in a hurry. Here's how, per the Mississippi DOR.
Complete Form 78-006 (Application for Replacement Certificate of Title) with the $9 fee through the Department of Revenue (standard processing ~4 weeks). Need it faster? The Fast Track (Form 78-026) costs about $39 total and is issued within 72 hours.
If you bought the vehicle in Mississippi with no title and can't obtain one, you'll need a title bond (surety bond) to get a bonded title — contact the Mississippi Title Bureau to start. In Mississippi, a bill of sale or registration alone doesn't establish ownership; the title does.
