Lost, damaged, or never received your Tennessee title? You still have legal ways to sell. Here's how it works in 2026, based on official Tennessee rules — plus the fastest way to just get a cash offer.
Tennessee handles titles through county clerk offices. If your title is missing, here's how to replace it and sell.
Complete the Multi-Purpose, Noting of Lien, and Duplicate Title Application (RV-F1315201) with the $14 fee at your local county clerk's office, in person or by mail. There's a 15-day wait after a title was issued before a duplicate can be issued. If a lien remains, the request must come from the lienholder.
If you can't get the title, Tennessee allows a bonded title: submit a Multi-Purpose Title Application along with a surety bond form at your county clerk, plus the usual title/registration fees. One handy rule: if you applied for the original title within 90 days and simply never received it, the replacement is free.
