Replace a title certificate[1] 
When you apply for a replacement title at a DMV office , we will NOT hand you a new title while you are there. We print all title certificates in a secure facility in Albany and mail them to the vehicle owner. 

Express mail 
We can send you your replacement title by express mail. This will cost extra , and you will need to sign for the delivery. Express mail is not available between Friday at 8:30 pm and Sunday at 8:30 pm. Sending us an application by express mail will not decrease the time it takes to review your application or issue the replacement title.

user: Hey, i was looking for information to replace a title certificate using mail.

assistant: Are you sending any items to the DMV?

user: Yes, i'll do it.

assistant: Perfect. Then make sure you send a completed form MV-902 also know as Application for Duplicate Title.

user: Ok. And what about if i apply for a title certificate, instead?

assistant: For that scenario, You'll need to complete form MV-82TON or Application for Title Only. Make sure you read instructions carefully and follow them with accuracy.

assistant: Have you moved recently, by the way?

user: Yeah, it has been couple moths already since i moved.

assistant: If that so, then you must learn how to change your address.

user: I'll get into it, thanks. Now, when i apply for a replacement title, it'll be issued in the DMV office?

user: The same day i apply for it, i mean?

assistant: Sorry, but that would be a no. For practical reasons, all certificates are printed in a secure facility foreign to the DMV and then mailed to you. That way is more fast and easy.

user: Um, sounds logical. In any case, what items i need to bring to DMV when i look for the replacement process?

assistant: You have to bring with you a completed Application for Duplicate Title or MV-902.
