Lost, damaged, or never received your Oregon title? You still have legal ways to sell. Here's how it works in 2026, based on official Oregon rules — plus the fastest way to just get a cash offer.
Oregon replaces a lost title through the DMV, and there's one timing rule worth knowing for newer cars. Here's how to replace it and sell.
Complete Form 735-515 (Application for Replacement Title) with the $27 fee. The title is mailed to the address on file — use the 'One-Time Mailing Address' section if you need it sent to a buyer or dealer. Oregon doesn't use bonded titles; if a previous owner is involved, you'll include releases from them.
If the vehicle is 2011 or newer and requires an odometer disclosure, Oregon won't let you combine the replacement title with the ownership transfer in one step — you must get the replacement title first, then sign it over to your buyer. Older vehicles without odometer requirements have more flexibility.
